Nightmare1213 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi all,Anyone thats in the UK, can you suggest a good ISP to go with? Im with BT and as far a I know they throttle downloads which is getting really annoying! I've been looking at 02 and BE*. Reviews on them both seem good as well as good prices.Cheers.

amberlager Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 BT totally throttles your speed. There were times I could barely surf the net between 5-9pm, especially on Friday. Forget about downloading at those times. I called them out on it, threatened to switch providers, and I haven't had the problem since. I had sky internet for a little while and the problem was a lot worse because they rented BT's lines. If you are in a medium size city or larger, you might be able to get Virgin's cable internet; which has speeds up to 50mbs, but I don't know how bad they throttle it. Honestly, I haven't heard anything good about any of the UK's service providers.-Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 And about Orange UK? Are they an ISP too no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberlager Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Yeah kinda. They provide internet service, but they are more of a mobile service. The thing with the UK is that everybody tries to get their hands into everything. Tesco for instance is a a grocery store that sells insurance, cell phones, internet, vacations, gas, electricity, and even funeral services. I am assuming that Orange rents or leases BT's lines as well. BT's only real competition is Virgin and they use some of BT's lines too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
