Default broadband services.. Which one ?

I'm moving to a new place on Saturday and will need o setup a broadband connection of some description.

I know there is an NTL box on the wall outside and wires into my room but I doubt this is active.

I need a fast connection with a high download limit.

TV / Phone doesn't mater at the moment as I can live with 5 channels.

Any ideas?

I know there expensive but im with bt up to 8mb and it £27 a month

Ive been with loads of other companies since broadband first started that were offering better deals etc but had nothing but problems with them ALL.

I have not had to phone bt ONCE with a problem and NEVER lost my connection. The bt connection is also perfect for xbox live

Only downside is there is a downlaod limit of 60 0r 80gb cant remember which but i dont get near that. I think they only charge you if you go massively over anyway.

Speed has never dropped below 5mb and is normally around 6.5 mb.

You can also just the payment onto you normal bt bill.

Was thinking BT.. but got this deal with NTL..

4Mb - unlimited downloading - With TV - £42 a month - first 3 months £15 reduction

The 8Mb is £10 more expensive. Never had probs with NTL til the last week though.

NTL do very good deals but their service when (not if) there is a problem is shocking.

A lot of peeps on here have said the same thing
