Advice - Broadband

Thanks to everyone who volunteered suggestions. One of the most helpful was Tim who said "The NTL website lies to you. If you ring them up they say there's no set-up cost, and give you a free phone for a year." which is quite a good deal.

Another question -- does anyone know if services are genuinely unmetered? For instance, NTL doesn't *mention* a download limit, but I'd assumed that if there truly wasn't one they'd advertise it, and if they didn't it meant they just 'mysteriously cut you off' after a few gig.

We maxed out a plus.net line for a month, with nary a reminder. That was their unmetered deal.

Us to, actually, um, we regularly max out the 2Meg/256... and they have yet to dare to tell us to stop it (look, when you're paying the fuckers 70quid a month...).

I think that companies that have a limit have to tell you about it, but what you are looking for is 'uncapped' - unmetered just meanst that you pay monthly rather than per Gig/hour whereas uncapped means - we have no limit.
