Thinking of changing Broadband user, currently use Pipex unlimited, but
doing less competitions, so thnking of changing user and paying less.
What do you use? Any recommendations?

Thanks


BE Lite looks quite good to me with up to 24mbs download and £14 a month for
a light internet user

I am with NTL, with a BT Line and a subscription with Sky was also thinking
of changing providers having just downgraded from a 4mb £24.99 connection to
a 1mb connection £17.99

received a letter from Sky Broadband saying that I could have a Sky
Broadband Connect package for £17 a month with download speeds of up to 8mbs
great I thought I will change providers and get 7x the speed for 99p less

but when I enquired about the package my bubble was quickly burst I was told
that I would have to get rid of my BT Light User Scheme, which is worth
about £15 a quarter to me,

and that my BT line would only support up to 4.5 mbs with a 40GB cap and
there would be a £40 activation fee with all the above taken into account it
actualy works out dearer than the 4mb NTL uncapped connection!!!

NTL are currently upgrading all the 1mb connections to 2mbs and so it looks
like I will be staying with NTL until Sky Broadband can offer the FREE
connection
which for me will be in 6 months time,

How times change I can remember a time when NTL offered a FREE dial up
internet service, makes me wonder how long Sky will offer there FREE
broadband service?

when they become well and truly established in the broadband market
