Nildram broadband - 512 down 256 up for around £22 a month - no download limit - Call of Duty ping of around 50 on a wireless network with 2 (laptop and desktop) sharing a Netgear modem. Can't get the feckers to talk to each other though.

I'm on BT Broadband, actual transfer speeds 576 down 288 up.

I had a letter from them yesterday informing me that they have reduced the charges to £24.99 pm from £27 pm as from 1st July (paid by Direct Debit). They also informed me that they will be introducing a download limit of 15GB a month from early 2005.

I wouldn't be surprised if all service providers introduce the same limit on downloads by early 2005 as I can't see BT doing it and hoping to compete with other providers who don't.

The cost of the 1 Meg BT Broadband has also fallen to £28.99 pm with a 30GB monthly download limit. I upgraded my account to this yesterday, but it will not come into effect for 7 days, which is a shame.

True Cable, not nacy copper wire, using fibre-optic cable here.

EDIT:

I'm looking at getting broadband from Central-Point or NDO, probably the latter as it should be connected within a few days

Dear all
I'm with Pipex B/B - god knows what speed but it seems fast enough, stable connection and the price isn't bad, unlimited use 24/7.

PS Not able to get cable where we live - street far too small...can't get cable TV either and have only just got B/B here.... was on dial up b4 and it took for ages, could boil a kettle, make a cuppa etc...etc... b4 I could download what I wanted. The B/B connection I have is quite awsome by my standards in comparison!
