    Not much point in stopping with VM

    As VM seems expensive just for phone and broadband now, I thinking of moving to a cheaper supplier , but has to be reliable.
    Has anyone, any recomendations for at least 4MB speed download? Talk- Talk seems cheap,but a few people seemed to have problems with them.

    i had talk talk, had nothing but bother with them, kept losing connection at least 10 times a day, their direct debit date always seemed to change and when you poned them they didnt seem to know what they were talking about....

    i then switched to bt great service for phone and broadband but far too expensive 70 every 3 months for bb

    now switched to sky had no trouble since

      Be* broadband is by far the best ISP ive ever been with.

      cheap as they come and no real frills, ie, you get a connection and thats it, no email, no webspace, nothing else, just a nice fat pipe.

      The bonus is this means they can be cheap as and supply you with the maximum your line can handle.
      great customer service and they allow you the end user to tweak your connection to get the most from it.
      This is useless if you dont know what your doing, but a godsend if you do. even if you dont have a clue theres always someone on the membership forum willing to pitch in and get you up to speed.

      The only niggle i had with them was their thompson speedtouch routers, the wifi on them is fairly weak, i dont know if theyve upodated their suppliers to provide a better router but if they have then i couldnt fault them.

            Although their setup can be a little confusing (due to the no frills website) their service is reliable.

            Many people use their own routers as theirs can be a tad s***

              I am based in Cardiff and have a Talk Talk connection. Quite decent d/load speeds and streaming music/films.

                  If your going on a BT line then i would recommend o2. They are cheap and cheerfull and if you have a phone with them pay as you go or contract you get a discount.
