Hi there
when in the UK I use SKY broadband -- cheap, fast, SOME FREE UK telephone calls and use it with a FREE HD (High Definition) satellite box for TV viewing.

10 GBP a month - unlimited, 20 GB download speed ---- seems OK to me -- plus the phone service is far cheaper than BT's.

Sky Broadband - broadband deals exclusive to Sky TV customers

Cheers

I use a 20mb line from virgin media in the UK.

Overall I would give them a 9 as they provide an excellent service at reasonable prices.

Virgin Media

 

[severedsolo]

im gonna go ahead and assume your on cable RST101? Virgins ADSL service is shockingly bad

 

[Fantail]

RoadRunner 8/10. Gobbs better then my previous ISP.

See sig for prior ISP rating.

Livin' in Canada, province Of Quebec, I use Vidéotron.
I would rate it 4.5/5. My ISP loses .5 points because of the prices that are actually... expensive.

 

[Tarka Dal]

Virgin & Sky

Virginmedia 50mb
Sky 2mb it's free with sky tv, useful as a backup.
Downtime : Never.

Used to be BT Never,never again!

Karoo--Kingston Communications

I use BT as I'm in England. Haven't had any problems since the whole of South-East England lost their Broadband for two days. I'd give them a 8/10.

Currently "Wildblue Platinum" $80 per month (17gb down & 5gb up FAP limit)


I had hopes the Stimulus plan to build out the broadband whould help us just 5 miles from Comcast and Quest main distribution locations but it appears we are still the "Red Headed Stepchild" where broadband in considered and we will have to continue to overpay and be under served because ..... anything is better than dialup at 14k (best the phone lines here will support and quest says no they will not upgrade the service unless I pay them $485 P/mo with a 12 mo commitment. for that I will get a dedicated T1 to my house while those just south of me get 20 mb speeds and unlimited downloads for 75% of what I pay. Life just isn't fair sometimes.....oh well....complaining don't get the landscaping done....Hi Ho...Hi...Ho....Hi ho hi ho its off to work we go..............

WV has terrible infrastructure. Pricey and not that great.

 

[RST101]

im gonna go ahead and assume your on cable RST101? Virgins ADSL service is shockingly bad

Fortunately I am living in an area which allows for cable so yes I am.

Although I'm on 20mb they have just switched on the 50mb and now the devil in my is urging me to go for that one, which I don't really want to do as they are currently testing the 100mb around here and I might jump on board that when it arrives.

Hi there
I'd rather FASTER UPLOAD than a change from 20mb to 50 MB.

Even on 20mb sometimes upload speed is as slow as 0.8mb - which makes using RDP a nightmare for any serious work where you need to connect to a home computer.

I wish the ISP's would offer a DECENT choice of both DOWNLOAD AND UPLOAD speeds -- I know of course they are scared sh---ess offering fast uploads because people could host all sorts of file sharing sites over which they'd have no control.,

I'd be quite happy with an upload speed of 3 - 5mb -- a 20mb download speed is more than enough for me.

7/10

 

[severedsolo]

just changed my ISP fro virgin to plusnet, so far so good, 9/10 (has to be free to get 10 im afraid )

 

[bobtran]

Thank god........Good bye to WILDBLUE

Finally got a new ISP available "Wi-power (Transworld Network)" microwave.

Due to the lack of latency issues, the effective feel is at least twice as fast as Wildblue on its' best days at the same download speed, its' half the cost and most important, NO FAP down load limits .


I can DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS ISP.

 

[bigmck]

In the Uk; My isp is virgin media

I had a girlfriend one time that was also virgin media....................

 

[rvbfan]

Shaw Cable
No hassles with download caps.
No down time.
Regular high speed service
8/10

 

[TRK212]

LOL . . .

Comcast, High speed . . . don't know exact but know that we pay only 60 till the next 5 months or so :/

Im with Rogers, they gave me a new modem/router that they modified to force you into forwarding your gateway. and you cant disable it.. port 80 is now in use... and guess what? it also has a protocol analysis feature that i also cant disable which makes it impossible to use a port with a protocol that it wasn't "intended for" now i cant forward a http service on any port but 80, which is in use.. great... 1/10 for you rogers.
