gARYgREATIE* Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Hello Y'all, I'm moving into my first studenty house this september and am wondering who people have used for teh interwebz? I'm not bothered about having a house phone cos I'm on contract so I just want it for the net. Who is the Best? Cheapest? Let me steal your knowledge, please. Gayrage.
Cube Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I used Virgin Media because I didn't need to have a phone line with them. They're awful.
Shorty Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 If you go with adsl you need line rental, which is £10.50 for the most basic package if you get it from BT. But, if you get your line rental and broadband from Talk Talk, it's £16.39 for both, per month, for up to 8mb speed and a 40GB download cap. I've moved from them to Be (bethere.co.uk) for faster speeds a couple of weeks ago, although so far haven't been that impressed with the speed or uptime of the service.
gARYgREATIE* Posted July 29, 2008 Author Posted July 29, 2008 cheers guys this is all useful stuff, I dunno how much it depends on your location, I'll be moving to north london so we'll see what most people round there go for.

Guest Jordan Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 If you have an o2 pay montly mobile phone contract, you can get o2 Broadband for £7.50 a month. Not sure about caps mind...
KKOB Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Be online i found great for ADSL last year, and the quality of the internet you get from Virgin Media is outstanding! I'm not getting ADSL again unless i absolutely have to. Plus, i hate BT.
AeroScap Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 We used virgin media! The line rental is hilarious! I would rather spend the tenner on a better internet package rom virgin media! seriously when it comes to sharing internet a constant reliable connection is better! unlike adsl >.>
