          The Fibre packages are all 12 month contracts as far as I can see (their website is quite confusing, IMHO but every one I've checked is 12 months) the non-fibre ones are monthly, like Zen et al.

For example, although it might look like you're getting a better deal on the face of it with say BT over Sky, when you factor in landline rental and calls you might find Sky much cheaper.
            Thanks - good point - although Zen's cheaper than BT for line rental, the calls are expensive.

              As A tech, I can say they are all as bad as each other however there are the odd one that is better than the other but they are all under the "Good" rating. I'm yet to ever deal with an excellent ISP. The biggest problem with ISP's is the support. Plusnet is one of the better ones out there imo

                Thanks to all - I have dropped Zen a line to see if they can offer me anything, if not it's off to plusnet for me.

                  Result! got my download limit upped to enough to take care of Netflix, iPlayer etc at no extra cost (well a few pence a month) and no need to change ISP.

                  Did I mention I am giving up my TV licence? Stopping watching live broadcasts so no need for telly licence any more.

                    TV Licensing - Check if you need a TV Licence

                    This includes the use of devices such as a computer, laptop, mobile phone or DVD/video recorder.
                    I don't think that'll wash for much longer, especially with iPlayer.

                      You need to be covered by a licence if you watch TV online at the same time as it's being broadcast on conventional TV in the UK or the Channel Islands.

                      The law is clear, the BBC just wished it reflected current reality and technology rather than old technical limitations....

                      But if the BBC wished to prove a point they could probably get a judge to agree that a computer able to run flash with an internet connection = need to have TV licence...
