BT is 10mb up, Sky 2mb up, same download, no throttling on Sky, 12 mth contract Sky, 24/12 with BT but BT price shoots up on 12 mth contract...
Or, stick with Be, use Seedbox and download at 16Mbs from that.
No fixed IP on Infinity Consumer, one on Business but more expensive.

She had two hours free internet a night courtesy of her ex bf's bro who had it for uni. Trouble is her bro fell asleep and went over the two hours and got her in bother, and slos infected the uni puters with millions of viruses. No more INternet except on a 'card'...
Gone off CCCP now.....

And BT wanted you to use their approved modems only. Needless to say the approval process was so expensive that only industrial quality modems had it and they weren't cheap. I started out with an unapproved one and kept my gob shut.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

I have infinty and now that they scrapped the cap (was 100GB then they limited you to 2MB), it's very very good. I can download an HD movie in 10-20 mins. I get 4MB/s About them throttling P2P, use nzbmatrix + a usenet subscription. This way you are downloading from a server and it's full speed from start to finish its over SSL and BT can't throttle it.Last edited by russell; 25 March 2012, 15:34.Comment

I am on BT Infinity and get a solid 37 down / 7 Mb up. However I do need a fixed IP address (not available on the BT infinity residential package).
I therefore use a service from DynDNS.com in order to maintain a “fixed” IP address to me domain name. so far this has worked well.www.stormtrack.co.uk - My Stormchasing website.Comment
