Default Need a new broadband provider

Hi,

Im abouts to move into a new house in the next few weeks. Currently Im on virgin but they have a fair usage policy which is rubbish.
Im looking for a provider with:
unlimted downloads
NO fair usage policy
Approx 8mbps
through a bt line
suitable for up to 5 people connecting via wireless (student house)

Anyone can help? I was looking at bt's option 3 where u get the homehub and unlimited wireless calls

Cheers

Lydia

Whats the postcode or town that you are moving to? Not all deals are available in all areas. No supplier will give you a download allowance with no fair use policy.. they will all ultimately take action if you take the ****.

Yea Ive seen that theres no such thing as a providr without a F.U.P however none of us are wanting to take the ****, just theres 5 people connected to the internet at one time in our household...see our problem?
I hear o2 may be the best for F.U.P?
I'll be honest, I just need someone to tell me which one to get! haha

Hi there..

Previous poster is correct, all broadband providers will have something in their contract that makes any "unlimited" offer not actually legally unlimited.. Anyway, looking up your postcode it does look like your best deals for multiple users with a hefty appetite for downloading will be:

O2 Broadband
Be Broadband

They are basically the same company, but just branded differently and with slightly different offers. You are quite close to your exchange so should get speeds heading towards 24Mbps with these providers.

Both offer "unlimited" downloads, and they aren't renowned for being tight with it.

Hope this helps
