spent too long without a broadband connection in my flat and am sick of it. got no active bt line and can't get o2 apart from that 'access' shit. just wondering if anyone who knows about this sort of thing could recommend the best value broadband package out there. |

Cheers, fingers crossed the line is active Go on the money saving expert and search on the forums for BT installation charges. As BT will often charge you to active the line again which will cost £120. The forum tells you how to avoid these and also of times when promotions are ran to waver this charge. |

And get o2, it's unlimited and customer service is better and with this http://www.quidco.com/o2-home-broadband/ you can get it for hella cheap. |

You got sky already? Its pretty topper to have sky, BT line rental for that and then have virgin cable isntalled just to do the internet. But it is the fastest option for internet. I use Zen over a BT line rental (dont have sky) and get 6Mbits downstream which is good enough. 2 years never had any downtime. |

I'm on O2 (over a BT line) and it's faster than the BT internet in my previous flat, about 5 to 6 Mbits usually. Would certainly recommend them. Great price if you happen to be an O2 mobile customer. Our old BT connection would drop repeatedly actually now you mention it, had to switch the router off and on a few times a week. |

Im an O2 customer already and they were offering its top package to me at £17.50 per month, should be able to drop that further. Got Sky, have BT for line rental/broadband so may swith to the 50mb virgin package. am i right in that the fibre optic set-up is better than the bt one i currently have so less downtime? |

Avoid AOL or any company which has an Indian Call Centre - no racist. |

any company which has an Indian Call Centre like Virgin, their "help" desk is seriously fucking useless |
