Default Best Internet provider?

I'm currently with NTL with the whole package, But I've had enough and I want Sky +
Only thing is I will need to go over to a BT phone line and I will have to change my Internet provider.
Which are the best providers? I want to stay Broadband. currently pay £24 for 2 meg.
Ive herd BT do the same for £17.99 anyone got this? any good?

you wont need to change ur broadband over if you dont want to as ntl do offer it on its own. if you havent got one already they'll send you a cable modem which will run off the ntl line. saves you messin about with a new isp.

I had the whole NTL package--TV,Phone and internet.

I have just ditched the TV and gone for SKY+, they are fitting it in a week or so.

All it says is that SKY need a " operational land-based phone line"----NTL phone line is OK

what i ment was that u can change ur phone line and get sky but keep ur ntl broadband you dont have to have a ntl phone line to have ntl broadband. their tv/phone/internet are offered as seperate packages.

just so you know you dont HAVE to cancel ur broadband but if you can find a better service thats uncapped then go for it

Anywhere else do unlimited 1meg or 2meg for £18odd?
