Is 1MB for £20 realistic?

I saw an advert for AOL broadband for £20 and thought great!!Untill i read it was only 256k

Ish

i forgot to add blueyonder have no monthly download limits either like some other isp's

Stoo

Just on there site and its £20 for the first 3months

So what needs done?I always thought it was something that plugged into the phone line?It say's free instalation?

Ish

if you are talking about blueyonder first check if it is available in your area http://www.telewest.co.uk/Package-Designer/enter-pd.do

"The postcode you have entered is outside the Telewest Broadband cabled area. Unfortunately, this means it is not possible to offer you any of our services at present"

Damb it!!

Oh well... Cheers for help anyway

Nice one! Thanks

The NTL is available at £17.99 a month @ 512k.Suppose thats quick enough for me anyway,i dont use it for games ect.Just to browse ect

Download limit?How does that work? What would be classed as a download?A video you have to right click(Save as)on?Or a thread with loads of high resoution pictures?

Sorry about all the questions,kind of new to this

£17.99 month for 1mb from wanadoo (freeserve) with a 6 gb download limit

Stu.H

yes, ive got the 4meg uncapped broadband from telewest. top service too

couldnt go back to a meg or 2 now.

when it says bandwidth restricted to 1 gig or whatever, thats total traffic, ie reading this thread, signatures take a bit more, mp3's EVERYTHING

dont apologise, we've all gotta start somewhere, so ASK ASK ASK AWAY!!!

Stoo

Nice

So...Ideally id want unlimited downloads?And can the internet be connected for as long as id like?Seems so in the package

Is 5-6GB quite alot?

Stu.H

yer its a "always on" connection and doesnt interfere with ur phone line

yes, 5-6gb is quite a lot if ur just having half meg or whatever, however i download films and ive used that in a day.

if ur not gonna be downloading huuuge files, then u will have no probs i would have thought.

Stoo

Doubt i will download films...well mabey a couple *Ahem

But that seems fine i suppose.I'll keep having a look around at different packages-They all seem to offer something different

So is it just a box thing i plug into phone line or does some guy come out and install stuff in my house?

leesrs240

4 meg and i thought my 2 meg was quick..

RSCAT

wish my fooker was

got bt broadband few days before xmas,, all good at first but since boxing day keeps cutting me off couldnt stay connected for more than 60 seconds at all the other night.

Stu.H

yeh not bad




if u go with BT, you can do a self installation, telewest run a cable to ur house from end of drive or whatever (unless previous tenants have had before) and then attach a cable modem at the end of it.

they then supply you with either a USB cable or an ethernet cable to back of the pc. If you have an old pc, and have neither ports, DONT buy a NIC card off telewest for 60 or 70 quid, get down to a computer market and get one for a fiver.

Stoo

Cool,thanks for your help lad's

Thats me learned something for today

apples24

fookin hell stu whole films must only take 15 mins to download

Weevil

Eclipse 2mb - 1GB traffic for £14.99 plus £1.75 per GB after that. Not bad if you aren't downloading massive files all the time.

im with blueyonder, got their 2mb service for 37.99 would be cheaper if i had the phone and telly package, highly recommended
