New ISP.

BE say they give you 24MB, you will never, ever get that. No way on an ADSL connection. You would be lucky to get 7.

Sorry I would like to disagree with you there, ADSL2+ is designed to offer well over 24MB, due ot it using fibre optic either to the cabinet or directly to your house.

I'm using BT at the moment on an exchange that can only offer up to 8MB.

that is my speed with them, bearing in mind I have copper lines from the house all the way to the exchange.

Designed to yes, but you'll only get 24MB if you lived inside the exchange.

That it's not:

Commercially it is notable for its maximum theoretical download speed of 24 Mbit/s.

I mean sure you can bond 2 ports together and get higher bandwidth but that simply doesn't happen in this country.

FTTC and FTTH are both components of a Cable/Fibre network, not an ADSL2+ one.

So... you want to move because you're being throttled because you downloaded 17gb at peak times, even though you agreed to being throttled in your contract? get a grip, why do you need to download so much at them times anyway

TalkTalk unlimited is pretty cheap, with phone rental and free calls its around £20 for 20mb + i've downloaded something like 200gb (console games btw) within a month for quite a few months and they did nothing.

Bonding doesn't happen in this country? Yes it does, we're looking at bonding 2 or 4 ADSL connections at work (rural school so no fibre )

With Be* it certainly is realistic. We have an ancient phone line and live about a kilometre away from the exchange and our line syncs at ~14Mb and we get ~ 12Mb on speedtests always no matter what time of day it is. And people who live pretty much next door to the exchange have reported syncing at speeds of over 24Mb, something like 24.5Mb as Be do not cap the speed at all in any way, so it will go as fast as the line's physically capable of 24/7.

Be* do line bonding . AFAIK they're to only ISP that will do it for residential connections. BT will do it for businesses etc.

£66.38 /month
12 months contract
£86.81 connection fee

hahahahahaha i'll pay less than that for 100/10 from Virgin. That's pathetic pricing it really is.
