BT Infinity  :happy2:

Only downside is that they restrict torrents a lot of the time, although where there's a will  :signLOL:

Other than that, been hard to fault it - speed might dip a little in the evenings but not so you would notice - most speed tests are 37.5 down, 8.4 up or thereabouts. For £25 a month and also bearing in mind it's now uncapped I can't complain......

Before I moved back to BT I was with another ISP that also did FTTC (which is what Infinity is), and moved to BT because it was £10/month cheaper. A bit nervous about moving, so many horror stories etc, but as it turned out the Infinity service is a) a bit faster and b) more consistent than the previous one.
'57 DSG GTI alas now gone, but not forgotten....
Now motorway cruising in a 61 Mondeo Titanium X Sport 2.2 TDCi. 500+ miles to a tankful and bucketloads of torque :O Ok, it's not a GTI but it's fun... and that's what counts ;)

Virgin Media 50mbit service at home - but have decent bandwidth at work so use that for downloads really.

Just spoken to 02 and was all set to go so rang virgin to change and they matched them and brought my bill down £15 a month  :smiley: for the same service I have now  :confused: why they just don't offer this from the get go I have no idea. 02 wanted £40 for the install so thought sounded fine until virgin said we can beat it and you don't have to change and your net is faster with us than it will be with them

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

This is one thing I hate, why do we have to go to the trouble of threatening to leave before being offered a discounted price. They should reward loyalty with lower prices, not up the price as time goes on and then drop it to stop us leaving. :mad:
