What kind of media company subscription do you have?

I have a Cineworld Unlimited card which gives me all the films I wanna watch

^I used to use one of those. If you are living away from home they are a great deal, normally food outlets nearby as well.

I'm rural and they promise 0 - 8 mbps. Lucky to get 0.5

Deary me, that's not what they promise at all. That is all your line can give you.

You're on a plan that costs £x for up to 8Mb.

The speed you get is dependant on your line, NOT the provider.

I get about 4Mb down with Sky, and it wouldn't change if I switched to BT or whoever.

One thing Sky does do, or rather does not do, is slow your line down during peak times which others like BT do

Virgin Cable XL Package with an extra box in the kids sitting room, BB from Virgin - I just speed checked it and it's running at 19.5mps. Landline is Virgin as well.

All in around £80 per month.

Then I've got a Netflix account that can support 3 viewers at a time. That's £8.99 a month.

How are you finding giffgaff? I tried them for 3 months but the data connection was pathetic, ended up with Three paying £6.90 a month sim only, much better a faster than anything I'd experienced before on 3g.

My theory is that once you go all in with a package or sign up for a contract that is you fecked as you have very little come back when it goes wrong. I would rather split services and buy a phone outright.

I know; it's all dependent on how far from your exchange you are.

Fibre coming here soon anyway/

GiffGaff have been great so far - initially I thought that I was going to have problems, but 5 months down the line, the service is no worse than the contract O2 connection that I previously paid £26 for? Once I had the correct APN configured, all rosy
