Best Broadband Deal

[Rhyso]

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

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.

Never had any issues with it; only issue I've had is the fact I live so far from the exchange that my download speed is around 3.5mb    But that's because our exchange is in the dark ages despite the fact is slated for a major upgrade......

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

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.

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

Sounds promising then, I'll have to check what the speed will be but should be decent enough with any luck. Worth going for the Pro service do you think?

Adam, I'm not too fussed about mega speeds, 6mb+ would do me fine, I currently share a 3mb connection with 6 other people!

I've gone for the Extra @ £11.49 per month for the 60gig limit.  I also have phone calls with them and my bills are around £25 a month for the lot.  That's as long as Linzi doesn't natter for ages on the phone 

The connection has been rock solid in the time I've used it apart from perhaps 2/3 occasions where the connection has dropped for about 2-3 minutes.

No worries    They might not be the cheapest about any more but for me the lack of hassle and trouble I've had its been worth it

It uses the same BT database Samknows and the ISP's use, despite FTTC being "available" in Wallingford, it's not available in my part of Wallingford. All FTTC availability means is that the Exchange is FTTC enabled and the required % of the cabinets have had the fibre run to them. BT's fibre roll out sucks.
