Hi,

Firstly, sorry for adding to the number of 'which ADSL?' threads, but I couldn't find an answer to my question.

Can anyone recommend a good ADSL service for sub-£20 per month, with a monthly contract and no connection fee???

Freedom2surf are the right price, get good speed and customer service ratings on adslguide.org.uk, but there's a £50 connection charge. Have just moved into rental accommodation for 6 months so I don't want to waste money.

Was previously on Virgin.net, but a) their customer service is terrible (opening my account was an ordeal and closing it is proving even more difficult and time-consuming) and b) they're comparatively expensive.

 

hi how about tiscali
here

According to the web site, they can't connect me as I'm too far from the exchange. Strange, when other ISPs will do it.

 

If you have ADSL with Virgin at the moment, they have already paid BT to have your line activated. Migrate your ADSL to someone else that doesn't charge an activation fee for migrations (as they won't have to pay BT). I did this from Virgin to NDO, theirs is a 12 month contract though. Hope that widens your options a bit all the same.

 

I have just ordered broadband from NTL, no installation fee and for the first 3 months its half price(£8.99) after that £17.99 a month, its 300k broadband if thats the sorta thing ya looking for

 

tesco's doing it for £19.99 with no connection fee and free modem, dunno if they are any good o and thats for 512K

 

tesco contract is for 12 months. have a look at www.cpbb.co.uk. minimum contract is 3 months and migration fees is only 99p!

 

Cheers guys.

I think it's going to have to be either Freedom2surf or cpbb then. I've moved house, so migration isn't an option - I'll have to get the line at my new house activated.

I can't see cpbb on adslguide.org.uk, so I don't know how good they are. It's looking like Freedom2surf wins out.

 

anyone use fairadsl?
my connection is just slightly better than 56k modem
and the modem always unplugs itself. (ZOOM)

 

I've got Tesco set up and am well pleased...just need a couple more micro filters..

 

best 512 package I could find (a month ago) for a mate was Prodigynet £20.49 a month, 1 month, no port block or download restrictions.
Installed for him with a £24.00 usb modem from ebuyer and he's well chuffed.

I'm with Wanadoo (used to be Freeserve) and, to date, have absolutely no complaints about their service.

I pay for £17.99pm for a 1024k connection. The deal includes free connection and a free modem/splitters.

However, this particular deal is subject to a 2gb/month restriction which is more than adequate for my needs but may not suit everyone. Wanadoo's site http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/time/broadbandaccess/ includes a useful page showing what 2gb/month actually means in terms of useage.

 

can someone explain
what does 512k and 1mb connection/contention means?
