Me so happy.

Got a broadband connection at home today. 1Mb for a tenner a month. I don't no longer feel like a second-class internet citizen. :kid:

If anyone's interested, I'll let you have the details of the ISP. I get £20 for making referrals, and I'll happily split that with anyone should they want to join up.

Mind you, this is not a recommendation as yet, since I don't know how good their service is personally. (I checked out revies before taking the plunge though, and their customers generally seem happy.)

This is probably a very boring thread, but I just had to spread my joy. :D

That is a good price Blink!


I pay £25per month for 2MB....

I don't have broadband yet, but hoping to convert soon. Apart from speed, what difference does the MB size make?

It's just speed.

Ooh - I forgot to mention - my broadband service is also unlimited; ie no download restrictions.

I pay £25per month for 2MB....2 meg isn't available at my exchange yet... :(

Unfortunately I do have a download restriction, but as I don't really download anything it is not a problem - as yet!

No restrictions Blink, that seems a brilliant deal. Who's it with if I may ask?

I pay £27.99 pm for 1 mb and the highest download allowance from Wanadoo but it's still restricted to 30 mb pm!

I don't use it but my son is networked to me and he used to download movies and loads of music but he doesn't do it now. I should consider changing I suppose but tend to just keep paying up.

Blinky, can you let me who who they are?

I'm going to change ISPs when we move (Wanadoo are okay but they dont inspire me particularly and I don't like maroon as a colour :bag: ).

At the mo we are with Wanado 27.50 a month

And our phone is with B T which is a £10 a month line rental but we pay for our calls buy Home call which come to around £5 -£10 a month you have to have a B T line but the calls are cheaper than B T and some of them are free at certain times of the day its a lot cheaper than B T call charges



But at the new house I have signed up just to Home call which is 1mb broadband unlimited and all our calls are free for 19.99 but you still have to have a B T line at £10 a month

but I would like a look at your one Blink if they do the phone calls as well

I already said that :bag:

I already said that :bag:

sorry I think we where posting at the same time touchy or what

S'awright darlin, I thought for a moment therre you were tyring to over-rule me:gunsmilie

A good place to start when looking for a broadband provider is the independent ADSL Guide (http://www.adslguide.org.uk). That's how I found my broadband provider, E7Even (http://www.e7even.com). The reviews on ADSL Guide seemed okay, and E7Even are wholesaling BT broadband products, so they should be fairly reliable and problems fixed quickly. Technical support is via a premium rate number, so I wouldn't recommend this if you think you're likely to need technical support a lot (but there is an email address for support too, and they seem to be good at replying).

The offer I signed up to is limited; £240 up front month for a 2 year contract - free connection and free modem. It's the 512k service, but there's also a free upgrade to 1Mb (not sure how long that's for - possibly just for 2 years).

If anyone decides to go for it, please quote my referral code, 707286. That way, they'll send me a £20 discount, which I'll happily split with you, making your broadband £10 cheaper.

Seems too good to refuse, really!

Sounds good - but I'm happy with my ISP - £22.99 a month (including £1 for a domain name). 512K at the moment - but they are in the process of upgrading everybody to 2Mb at no extra charge.

It does sound a good deal but the 2 years' payment up front would be a problem for me really. Also, on the cynical side, what if they did happen to go down the pan? (not that it's very likely).

Oh well, 2 years on when I'm still forking out nearly 3 times as much and they're still going strong I will wish I'd had the money to do it now - lol.

I couldn't afford that all at once either - but it sounds fab.

I'm with demon at the moment and paying £29.99 for 1mb - but unlimited download, which is important for me. Am hoping they'll do free upgrades to 2mb, as a few other companies seem to be.

I am with Ntl. I have no idea about speed, cost or anything else. I come down the stairs in the morning, I flick the switch, the pooter comes on and I log onto SO. That's all I need to know. :bag:

Oh and I sometimes go mad and send an e-mail or two.............

If and when I get a line into the loft room I'll give you a PM Blink....until then...it's just SIMs and screenplays on the home PC! :)

That sounds a brilliant deal Blink, but unfortunately the upfront payment would hit me.
I know I'm paying more in the long run, but it's a monthly jobbie that I can manage.
I'm with virgin at £17.99/month with a 6GB maximum download which I don't think I'll go over, as I don't use the internet alot. Apart from coming on here, of course:w00t:
