Hi :)
Well my nan got wireless internet for me today, for when I go round hers. It is talk-talk wireless broadband, and it is so good! It works faster for me than the AOL wireless broadband I have at home, and habbo UK works on it (it never seemed to work good for me with AOL)

I recommend talk-talk if you think of changing, you get the phone and the internet for £22.50 a month, which is well worth it!

I'm with BT and in my opinion they are the most expensive and worst ISP around.

I didn't know that, can it be removed if you ask? I don't mind as the number has always been on the phone book.

I'm happy with the speed of it though - We was going to move but then we got the free laptop offer so we kept AOL for another year - We are moving ISP when the contract is over.

Habbo works on AOL, but what i found was that AOL kept disconnecting my line so i got so annoyed with them and i phoned up o2 and said i want to buy your package and move from AOL etc they set it all up, then i phoned AOL to get teh MAC code and they were like oh we were moving 3.2 million customers to our new servers blah blah blah. I was like BULL ****! and when i got mac address gave it to o2 and then 1 week later i was connected on o2 and canceled AOL and i was happy as i havent been disconnected since. AOL are total crap.

Back on topic: TalkTalk were on watch dog about the phonebook thing.

We did that, worst decision we've ever made imo. The free laptop thing does a very good job at retaining customers. We weren't too fussed at the time though, a free laptop seemed too good to be true so we rang up to find out about the smallprint and was told there wasnt any so we signed up there and then lol :P

For those who are wondering AOL/Talk Talk are both owned by The Carphone Warehouse so both eventually will have the same problems.

Thats becase all 4mb customers have been upgraded to 10mb. VM dont do a 4mb service now ;)

My parents have VM 10meg and its good.
I had talktalk last year and it was rubbish!! It was slow, and went down once every few months.

I am now on o2 (Same as Be There) and they are amazing. So fast and reliable.

BT is the best, You get upto 8MB, Wireless network, Unlimit Downloads, BT home phone and BTtogo phone, its like a little phone you carry around for text, emails ect you see on advert. http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumer/consumerProducts/images/internet/broadband/bba_features_equip_710.jpg and Bt Vision ready (Tele) Pause and rewind live tv and stuff and record up to 80 hours.
All that £20,99



Virgins awful and kills the internet. Wish they we're gone.
