What you might be good to do, is go onto Speedtest.net and find the fastest net supplier in your area. ;D

well they randomly cut off the internet around the end of february, i called them asked why and they said it wasnt supposed to be and they would look into why its off.

Then I got a letter saying they cancelled the contract with me early and charging me £200 cancellation fee, without telling me it was being cancelled. And I dont have that sorta money lol so they wont stop sending letters

Still dont know why they cancelled

I am with Tesco. Only had one problem in 5years. Support is extremley helpful and fast as not as many customers as BT or Virgin Media. The price isn't the cheapest but i pay for a higher upload than download.

www.speedtest.net and click your location and check the best providers in your area.

Enter you postcode and adress into there and it will tell you what cable/LLU services are available instead of using speedtest which is unreliable.
