Hello all!
I need to get broadband for my new place in a village. First choice was Sky's mid (£5) package as I had it at my previous home and was satisfied. However, i can only get Sky Connect (8mb speed, 40GB limit) in the new place (at £10 instead of £17 for first 12 months). Will this be as good? I am guessing not as it will come through BT (despite being the same speed and limit). There are no plans I can see to upgrade my exchange and my phone line will support 4.5-5mb speed.
So my alternatives are Virgin Beyond Cable Broadband (8mb, Unlimited) again through BT (£7.50 first three months then £15.00), Tiscali (8mb, Unlimited) (£6.50 first three months, then £14.99), which I read bad things about on here, or BT themselves, who would charge £25 for the unlimited download limit (8mb) which as I regularly play PS3 online I guess I will need.
My usage is general mostly, but often. My girlfriend will be downloading uni work/articles etc. We shop online, she likes to go on youtube and download the odd song and I game regularly on my PS3 (a few hours a day). I am thinking we will need more than a 10-15GB download usage which turns me of BT when you see the massive price differences.
I can't get Be or ADSL24 and TalkTalk is over £30!
My thoughts are Sky or Virgin. Thoughts of you wonderful people please?!
Thanks!
