Default Broadband providers...

Just had ANdy (Mr Manc) on MSN raving about his upgrade to a 1meg line...

Got me thinking...

512 is getting a bit dated now, and whilst I still think it's fine for normal web surfing, 1meg would make a diff for donwloads and uploads (I guess)

THing that I didn't realise (and have been meaning to ask about for some time) is usage limits.

I'm on Freeserve (now Wannado) and not sure of the package I was/am on and whether it has changed, so I gotta go under the assumption I have a 512 line with a 2gb monthly download limit.

Now we got 2 PC's connected 24/7, obviously net surfin has increased, and whilst we don't have any P2P for downloads, I use a couple of FTP programmes and send/recieve stuff (tunes etc) via MSN, as does my sister quite a lot....

This is probably hammering the 2gb towards it's limit now, so wondering whether to change to an unlimited line?

Tiscali do 1mb with 2gb limit for £15.99 - think thats a pound more a month than I have now, but double the line (mines 512) - but they also do a 512 unlimeted for £20/month (or 1mb/unlimited for £25/month)

Now I don't pay for the BB line (my old dear does) so not really my call - if it was me I'd go for the £25 1m/unlimited) so wondering if it is worth going for the £20/mointh 512 unlimited?

Thoughts please gents?
