    UK Broadband...

    In the UK we're with BT and have a 1 mbit download with 15GB limit per month. We're looking to change...

    Who out there(in the UK) is using what? How much, what speed and are there any limits?

    Spod - In "Any help appreciated or abuse Chico/Franco, whatever" mode!

    Mate of mine uses the 8mbit Bulldog package with no monthly cap. He rates it highly. For a no frills package with no cap, Tesco are recommended by many.

        See if your BT exchange is listed. If it is you can get 8mbit for £39.99 per month with a 120GB per month cap (although they say they only pursure persistent offenders).

          Unfortunately we're too far away from the exchange...

            Very poor value compared to Bulldog - 8mbit uncapped for £17.50/month or £29.50 if you want unlimited phone calls as well.

              Yes that bulldog deal looks unbeatable.

                Take a look at this site, where you can compare a number of ISPs on cost, speed, support etc.

                BTW Spod, are they still recruiting at your place? If so, any chance you could PM me with the best person to contact please as I'd rather not use an agency if I can avoid it? My contract here is up in a few weeks unless they can find some more money for another extension.

                If anybody else is able to offer contacts in companies 'oop north' doing real-time embedded C/C++ then there's a pint (virtual or otherwise) in it for you. I've now got a baby daughter so I'm desperately trying to avoid a weekly commute down south.

                Cheers...
