Dragging a bit of an older thread back to the present, did you swap Rob?

I'm looking at BB in me new house and although I could go with BT I don't think I could face their customer service after the hassle to get a phone line.

Been looking at the enta resellers and wondering about the ADSL24 and freeola. Been thinking of whether to go for a max or non max product for higher peak usage while I'm at work for downloading suring the day when I don't want to use the internet myself.

Also looking at other enta suppliers vivaciti and UKFSN as potentials.

Well im currently in the process of moving from Enta to Be Pro, so I will let you know how it goes.

Enta suffers only at night due to the networks being hammered by P2P users :(

Which isnt Enta's fault, but just not happy with it dipping to 2mb sometimes...

I don't have the choice of BeThere as my exchange is never likely to get looked at until the roll out of 21CN PSTN sometime in 2009/10 if at all for the next 5 years.

As per Samknows website there are just over 2000 premises including residential and business connected to the exchange. And I'm over 3km from the exchange in a straight line so never going to get great speeds :( Most I can expect is about 3.5Mbps.

I've taken a look at loads of options and I'm still tending back to BT; Sky would be ok IF I had a TV to watch it on and if I was going to be staying in this place long term.

I've been looking at different packages on the Enta network and was thinking that I might go with the:
  • Plan: Office 45</li>
  • Download: 8Mbps</li>
  • Upload: 832 Kbps</li>
  • Peak: 45 GB</li>
  • Off Peak: 300 GB</li>
  • Price: 29.38</li>
<a href="http://adsl24.co.uk/broadband_office.php" target="_blank">http://adsl24.co.uk/broadband_office.php</a>

Compared this to the Home package that is a similar price and it stacks up as:
  • Plan: Home 60</li>
  • Download: 8Mbps</li>
  • Upload: 448 Kbps</li>
  • Peak: 60 GB</li>
  • Off Peak: 330 GB</li>
  • Price: 29.99</li>
My thinking was that with a long line I would be more likely to get a decent up, even if the down is pants and therefore make maintaining a ratio on torrents much easier.

Having looked at all the other providers BT seems my only other choice. Zen seem expensive for the FUP amount of 50 GB as do many other providers. Having read about Pipex and Nildram (who seem to be one and the same just different names) I think I'm going to steer clear. And sky is just not worthwhile unless I have a TV to watch the crap shows on.

Might try and compare different Enta suppliers although their all much of a muchness

Your right Myo, the only problem with Zen is the price you pay for a 50gb cap.
