Changing Broadband
« on: January 07, 2013, 07:16:50 PM »
I want to change my broadband supplier - currently O2 - cos it's crap.

Any suggestions?
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Still can't fault TalkTalk. But I'm only 1/4 from the exchange, and 50% of the street are pensioners  :(
I probably live in a low usage area, hence my good connection.
Not a pull down on OAP's  :)
Over 90% of all computer problems can be traced back to the interface between the keyboard and the chair

I know you probably don't want to put any money in Mr Murdoch's pocket put Sky currently doing 6 months free £7.50 thereafter.
Of course you have to put your phone with them which is £14.50 a month line rental.

another talk talk here. Though back when it was Tiscali they were pretty P1ss poor to be honest but have really improved with the merge etc.
Not had many problems at all so you could give them a go :)

I have always stuck with BT never had a problem with them after all they have all the telephone exchanges,but the best revues are for Plusnet and owned by BT now anyway as Chesterfield chris says
I intend to live forever. So far, so good - But, too many Birthdays can kill you.

What's your priority Pete?
Cost or performance ?
I've been on BT Infinty for almost a year now. No problems and download speeds around 35 meg. Very reliable and consistent speeds.
Not the cheapest thou £32/month inc line rental.

My priority is reliability and speed Seanant as I need it 24/7 for my livelihood. Unfortunately I don't live where Infinity is available. :(
