Advice - Broadband

[jack]

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.

Re: Update - NTL

Our NTL connection was a warez machine for a year. We did know about the alleged cap beforehand, but never got hit with charges. However, googling about it a year ago did suggest some people had been hit. I think Cambridge NTL probably have too many people to chase up though ;)

Our ADSL is uncapped, btw, although this poxy BTopenworld 1GB-month deal isn't. ARGH.
