Hopsta Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Pipex are about the cheapest and get a good rep on http://www.adslguide.org, i'm with plusnet monthy contract, 23.99 per month not sure about the connection fees tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 hmmm - this is a PITA - like choosing a mobile in that none of the offers seem comparative I don't feel confident about messing about inside my PC so I want a USB modem, 512k and 3 of those micro filter thingies plusnet looks cheap at £22.99 but charge a whopping £98.68 for activation/hardware for annual contract or £12 more for monthly - total annual cost = £374 2 questions: if I get kit from a particular ISP and then switch I take it I don't need to buy another modem etc? do you reckon monthly contracts are the way to go (even if a £10-20 premium) as the cost of ADSL is falling and I can swap more easily thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 went for pipex in the end customer service seems OK and they were cheapest 23.44 to setup and 23.44 per month = £305 for year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabster Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 Nildram Homelight 500 £22.99 a month fit your own ADSL modem and its £29.38 for activation. The PCI ADSL card is a piece of piss to fit and costs about £30. You need a microfilter for each phone extension in your house which is about £4 each. Go HERE There also the fastest ADSL service in the UK every month on http://www.adslguide.org.uk/ I have been with them 6 months never had a problem. Brilliant.

Mac Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 Assume so - it's just a 10Gbe termination in my hallway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeNobody Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Looks like it's an option that's more broadly available than I realised. Just not yet where I live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lussac Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 I've just gone with Virgin 100mb for £25pm, previously I'd been on Three 4G with Huawei B818 router but the service started to get very flakey over the last few months, vastly variable speeds and cutting out regularly hence the need to change. Virgin service has been stable at about 110mb since installed last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy2shots Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 £19 per month on a 24 month contract. 73mb unlimited usage , fibre to the property, line rental. £90 Amazon voucher. Vodaphone promotional offer through a comparison site. Including the voucher in the calculation it works out at £15.25 per month. I'm happy with that.
