Best Broadband Deal

[Shady Pioneer]

I'm moving into a flat with Chelsea at the end of August, and I haven't the foggiest what's what at the moment.

We don't want to pay too much but want the best for the money, using computers, iPads, iPhones and Xboxs pretty much everyday so download limits need to be decent, if line rental can be included then ace, if not it's not the end of the world.

Anyone got any ideas?

Also, need a fridge freezer, any ideas?

PlusNet are cheap and provide a good service, their cheapest package is £6 something a month with line rental at around £12 a month. Worked out to £19 for phone + broadband with a 10Gb download cap - the price may be cheaper if you live in a low cost area, which you'll need to check on their website by plugging in your postcode and phone number. I really do rate PN, if you do decide to join with them PM me for a referral 


Oh and I've got a bar fridge and table top freezer (missing a shelf) you can have if you pick them up

The £6.99 per month is if you live in the low cost area 

I've been with Plusnet for nearly 2 years now and haven't had a days trouble    Only ever spoken to customer services once and that was to setup the account!

Just recently upgraded to Plusnet Pro which gives you 60gig download limit for an extra £5 per month

im with sky, unlted internet, line rental, and TV - £36pm!

not to bad tbh, and never had a problem!

dont forget your Tv licence fee!

It all depends on who has a lease on the exchange you will be using. When I was looking I found o2 to be the best deal but the lower cost was only available to o2 enabled exchanges. Had to go with BT

Thanks for the input guys.

I will look into Plusnet, have you had any issues with Xbox Live or is it pretty good? I've given up on Live where I am now as the net is so sh!t I can't be arsed.

We were considering Sky as it would be nice to have Sky TV again but it's costly. Once you factor in line rental too that's about £50 a month, granted we are splitting the costs but still.

I wanted Virgin Media but because Yeovil is in the dark ages fibre optic isn't available.

Yeovil are getting fiber to the cab by 31st December 2012. If your wanting the quick speeds i'd go with BT then upgrade to Infinity when its available.

[Shady Pioneer]

Quick speeds, high download limit and value for money is what I want. How do you know about fiber optic with Yeovil coming then?

[Jay]

PN have been very good and they have a range of packages available, have a look on their website

I wouldn't rely on sites like Samknows for FTTC availability, it says it's available in our area at work and has for the last year yet when we place an order with BT it fails because it's not actually available - same as for my home line on the other side of Oxfordshire which is why we went for a leased 100Mb (1Gb burstable) fibre line

Just had a quick look on Plusnet's site, looks good value. Is it worth going for the Pro package? Rhyso have you actually noticed a difference when gaming since going Pro?
