Questio Regarding Broadband (UK - Wanadoooooooo)

Angus · Post by **Angus** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 6:56 pm

I currently pay the "£27.99" Broadband package, this gives me 1Mbps and 30gb per month.

Now im considering dropping this to a £17.99 package, at 2GB, or £22.99 at 6GB.

Now i do the following on meh internet.

Ultima Online and a variety of other online games in the future i bet.
I use Bearshare to download music.
I surf ALOT (keke) and post on 3 message boards.

Now, dropping from 30gb, to either 2 GB or 6GB PER MONTH will I notice a massive difference?
What exactly wil change (bear in mind dropping down to these packages sitll leaves me at 1 Mbps connection)

Thanks alot (gotta love student life style.)

The 30/2/1GB this is a limit to downloads, i dont know how much you dl, or how much uo and surfing effects this. I personally tho would never consider using any provider with a download roof at all.

I download, i would estimate 20-30 songs a month.
And roughly a couple of episodes of..erm..Stargate Atlantis (Until the DVD box set is out)

Hmm - Anyone in the UK give me some Broadband providors that are a little less expensive?

im using aol without any limit........ its fine for uo and fine for downloading, rarely any down time, and its cheap so np, a lot of people unfairly write it off but np.

I doubt i would get AoL.

I no doubt assume its a good internet provider.
But a friend has it, and its been a hassle for him at times.

Tiscalli has been mentioned, ill go look them up.

i was gonna switch to tiscalli a while ago, but mate had it, and it was wank so didnt switch.

pipex was also an option but didnt bother making the switch as it wasnt worth it

Can I ask what was wrong with Tiscalli?

I'm just looking at it now, seems decent?

He had problems connecting and with tech support, so couldnt be fucked with the hassle and just ditched it.

Tiscali is an AWFUL ISP, also wouldnt go AOL.

Pipex, Plusnet all good

www.adslguide.org

get some good info there.

Dont go tisscali and dont have download limits there fucking stupid.

It looks like ill be going Pipex.
It seems a decent and good site, ive heard good things about it.

Its also a saving of just under £5 a month, and it seems better than Wanadoo.

So cant complain, ima keep looking atm though.

Thanks for LINKS and SUGGESTIONS @ Everyone, par Slamer, who just told me what was shit, cunt.
