I'm still looking for the best Broadband ISP to switch to. Today is the first day of the new capped Freeola switch-over, but it seems they are going to be taking until the middle of March to actually upgrade their systems, so I am safe using whatever bandwidth I like until that time.So at least I have a couple more weeks to look into which is the best to switch to.
I'm still leaning towards the Demon Business Broadband as it offers unmetered traffic, with no fair use limits they impose on their home packages, so no bandwidth restrictions between 9am-10pm. The contention is also lower than the consumer broadband and the traffic on the business packages takes priority over the home packages which is really good. I don't mind paying slightly more for these features.
But I still want to double check no other ISP has a similar package at a cheaper price. Pipex's uncapped broadband still also looks quite good but I need to investigate their fair use policies a bit more.
One thing that is annoying is that I seem to still be on one of the few exchanges that have yet to be fully upgraded. Yes, I can benefit from slightly faster broadband via MAX, but I have no ability to use any of the dedicated faster ADSL2 services such as Bulldog or Be* which go up to 24Mbit via their own connection to your phoneline at the local exchange. I would love to get that ability, but it would involve moving to an area with an enabled exchange.
So anyone else got any ISP suggestions I can look at this week?
