Sky's basic package which effectively costs me £2.50 a month as I have a landline contract with them too. Speedtest.net results consistantly show 3Mb/s download which is more than adequate for me. When I've phoned them I seem to speak to English people.

If you want IMO the best broadband supplier go with BE THERE or O2 broadband.

Their call centers are not in the UK but speak exceptional English and the twice I have had an issue with my line, the first time it took 8hours to resolve and that was by getting a BT engineer to me! in 8 hours!

The 2nd time i had a new router with me next day and you deal with one person via email or phone from start to Finnish.

I have the bonded pro package so 2lines bonded together because cable or fiber is available yet in my area and i run a web server and a BES server.

Previous to Sky I'd been with BT for about 7 years and although I never had a problem with the serive, I did get annoyed with paying £24.95 a month for 2.5Mb/s, even more so when I switched to Sky (nothing physical changed) yet I get an increase in line speed and save over £20 a month! Have even managed to move home and Sky did a good job of it, no charge although I had to change my number and it took 2 weeks to activate the line at the new house as they had to wait for a BT Openreach engineer to do his bit first. Other than that, no complaints so far!

That would be awesome.

I'm having line issues at the moment, I've spent the last 3 weeks or so at between 200 and 350 kb.  At the moment my line is capped at 500kb despite being sync'd at 2.2Mb.

Four engineer visits and we're still having issues.

Unless you stream HD porn movies or a serious amount of data, is it worth it?

Edit: The pricing isn't too bad tho!
