BT Infinity.

Im currently on Virgin Media 10mb internet and i was looking at BT Infinity (Comes out cheaper..). So how would i go about changing?

And does anyone in the manchester area have it? If so, what sort of speeds do you get?

Just go to that site, and type in your phone number or post code, and it'll give you an estimate of the speeds.

I'm currently with BT Infinity in the wolverhampton area, and it's incredible. I get about 35 - 40mbps download, and 4 - 6mbps upload, so pretty damn amazing (my speedtest on that link I just put only said i'm supposed to get 25mbps download, so you can assume it's more than it says!).

Yeah, ive already checked that and got 39.1Mb download and 9.1Mb upload. But im not sure because my auntie only gets 0.1mb And shes phoned and tried to sort it etc. She lives fairly close.

Do you know what their download policies are like and how much the 'Unlimited internet' is?

[jackass]

Well with the best package, it's their fair usage, so roughly 100GB, but i'm pretty sure that they don't mind as long as you aren't constantly going over that month after month.

I've got a bandwidth monitor, and I download a lot, and I still don't reach 100GB, so it should be fine for most people.

Alright then, Thanks I'll look into it.

Yeah, they'll send a warning e-mail at 80GB and throttle you at 100GB on their "Unlimited" package

Ah, alright then. I wouldnt think i'd go over 100gb tbh. Unless Xbox Live and PC gaming (online) Takes up a lot of bandwith. Mind you, virgin should have a fair usage poilcy, and i havnt had any warnings about that.

VM don't have monthly limits.

100GB a month would drive me crazy... i sometimes download that in one night.

Oh, i thought they would have. Im not too sure really. I dont download THAT Much. But that depends on Xbox Live (+DLC) And STEAM etc

Our house, four people, each with multiple computers, streaming HD video each night, my gaming, download movies/TV shows, Spotify and general web usage and we don't go above 70GBish generally.
