Hey,

At the moment I'm paying ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£25 for a Freedom2Surf 2MB uncapped service. Now I'm perfectly happy with the service, but I'm worried I'm overpaying for the speed I'm getting... problem is my line won't handle much over 2MB if I switch to Max (in fact it would probably sync under 2MB!).

So for the same amount of money I could be getting an NTL 4Mb cable line. Should I switch to them? I see it's an uncapped service, but how bad is the traffic shaping? And game pings are usually better on cable right?

I live right next to the Lenton student area in Nottingham, so will the NTL service here be a bit pants with all the students raping their connections with warez 24/7?

Any help/views appreciated [img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

Cheers,

Suman
