Is it limited though?

As it's used by a fair few people for streaming.
I'm no too much concerned about the move more the average min.
I have heard good things about Be and Zen though.

It claims to be unlimited.

I don't do much torrenting so haven't pushed it myself.

Well all the unlinited ones say it's unlimited for 'fair usuage'

I was checking and the offer looks good.
Just checked. It's not available to me. I don't know why. I'm sodding in zone one London.

I was going to say it's only available in certain areas,

but I assumed you'd be alright. Weird. I've had it in Leeds and Sheffield.

Virgin is extremely good.

Free landline calls 24/7.
20meg unlimited, line.
Full TV package including all the movie channels
at 71 quid a month.
I pay about £30 a month for Sky as it is.
So not bad.

Sounds like quite a lot to me, but it's up to you.

I make do with freeview myself

Ah but you have to bear in mind this is for a business

We have all the TV channels and have to pay for them.

Watch the throttling though Ghosty

I have 10MB+phone line for £22/month, but have to DL over night. If you go over 1.2 G of an evening (which takes some doing to be fair) they reduce you to 25% for 5 hours as a slap on the wrist.
And god forbid you have any problems (used to work for them, their idea of customer service is to drag people in off the street, if you know what you're doing you're overqualified!) Still, I've been ok with it so far. Beats the shit out of AOL.

I'm pretty clued up on ADSL

I was part of the development department in BT when they were designing a product in the late 90's:P

i think it depends on the capacity of the nearest green box on the street

my mate is on the waiting list.
waiting for someone to move or die as his local box is full.

I'm right near the exchange.

geographically and electronically but the blue box doesn't matter as that's BT's stuff. They don't lease to Virgin, they have their own fibre op.

er, maybe i was a bit vague before

he's on bt, wants to sign up for virgin media, but can't as the virgin box is full.

bt is shit round here, the exchange is nearly 3km away. it's the pissiest of the piss-poor

I have Be as well. It's definitely unlimited.

Their DNS is shag so I'm using OpenDNS' one instead.

Plus you're fairly unlikely to get 24 unless you have a goldencock 4000 setup and are right next to the telephone exchange.

they're not cheap if you transfer a lot of data, but if you want rock-solid uptime they're your guys
