Isp Recomendation
 

i'm looking for an isp which is unlimted.

im currently with cable and will leave soon due to the shapping stuff and the 4 pm stuff.

im looking for anybody who can offer true unlimited and does not shappe or throttle my bandwidth.

is there anything out there.

I do not care how fast it is just as long as it's not 56k

Has anybody used BE internet before?

Si thee!

Thanks a bundle

Re: Isp Recomendation
 

what you need to do mate is ask your neighbours. See if there connections are any good and see who they are with this at least will give you an idea if fast speeds are viable on your line (of course this is never a garrentee) then comes the hard part finding an unlimited isp. I dont think anyone has no fair usage policy now and as for caps and traffic shaping well there are cap free isps but I bet most will shape. You got a hard hunt on your hands to find the holy grail

Re: Isp Recomendation
 

There is no such thing as "unlimited".

ISP's limit your bandwidth speeds / download limits in order to give a decent level of service to all subscribers.

If you do find an "unlimited" provider they are either a) lying or b) lying.

Do your research before picking a provider - and read the small print of the contract.

www.bethere.co.uk... also chk out ZEN INTERNET

Re: Isp Recomendation
 

A very open ended AUP there, they don't set limits but if you make excessive use of the network you will be punished........ hmmmm

Re: Isp Recomendation
 

see you in 3 months...what sauce do you like with your humble pie:rofl:

Re: Isp Recomendation
 

Become your own ISP.......actually does anyone know how much it costs to start one up. Paying BT wholesale for the use of their lines will be quite alot, I presume.

Re: Isp Recomendation
 

There is a current price list of central capacity here. Bear in mind, there are many other things to take into account, besides the price for capacity from BT, there is plenty of hardware to purchase.

Thanks for the help whomever helped me some good stuff here i will take a look at zen i could not find breth internet at first when i mentioned it i forgot the name now i know it was hurting not to know.

for the rest of you who did not help let me clear up a few things that people thought they would take the **** and make fun.

i never had adsl so don't jugde people and make them look stupid second if you had my cable connection you would cry also why you say look at my first post of confusion i have a high power rate WHICH EVERYBODY HERE SAYS IS NOT GOOD BUT I GET 1.2 MBps DOWNLOAD With lots of lag online gameing when i drop the power rate with the clips put on 100KBps I GET BUT NO LAG so to get the full potensioal out of my 10 MEG i have to swap cable bit EXTENTION CLIP THINGS everytime i want to game or others want to down.

And you call that a service WHAT WORLD ARE YOU LIVEING IN all i want is what i pay for simple not hard to work out.

i have spoken to virgin a number of times about this had twice a tech come out and swap and cheak and replace the whole wire outside.

i had no problems untill virgin taken over 500 /600 gb per month and no complains thats what i call a top notch service and no problems eaither everything was perfect with telewest now just to add the shapping crap ontop is just a bonus.

Thanks for everyone who helped out if i find a nice adsl service i will stick and leave cable soon as i do.

:( rrrr....they don't show uploads

Re: Isp Recomendation
 

Zen do a business package, which is supposed to be unlimited, it's expensive though.

:confused:

Re: Isp Recomendation
 

How would one go about figuring out upload speed

Re: Isp Recomendation
 

Some speed tests check the speed in both directions.

Re: Isp Recomendation
 

Thanks but I was referring to the
It wasn't a serious discussion so it doesn't really matter ;)

Re: Isp Recomendation
 

are you feeling lucky ? :Yikes: you will need to :disturbd:

Re: Isp Recomendation
 

bethere says its unlimited but it still got fair usage policy, i am with bulldog and honestly speaking if its working fine than its very good but if it gives you problems than you are nowhere and there customer service is one of the worst ever.you can try aol which is a bit expensive but i have used it in the past and did use heavily but its ur choice i got these suggestions.

Re: Isp Recomendation
 

im sticking with virgin now as of last week when my problems were fixed

Re: Isp Recomendation
 

loads of it :disturbd:

Re: Isp Recomendation
 

What a fabulous, friendly, helpful, constructive thread this is.

The guy posts asking for advice on choosing a new ISP and basically gets given grief for daring to consider leaving Virgin and people picking holes in the very standard AUP that the ISP he is considering using have.

Huge thumbs up to the people who did post constructively though.

All ISPs without exception have a FUP, Be have never throttled anyone and the only form of shaping they use is to prioritise business traffic over consumer traffic. They are no more limited than VM were pre-STM. Same goes for Sky Max.

Honestly anyone would think that VM are the only ISP that can offer anything like a service to anyone and the rest of us without it are all getting throttled after downloading 1MB a week and spend most of our time getting 56k like speeds.

Bit slow as there are 2 other PCs running both gaming but:

Download Speed: 15040 kbps (1880 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 2002 kbps (250.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
