Question Which Internet provider?

Finally got a computer at my new house, a new super duper diy built not by me...
Now I wanna get on-line with it...
Currently my only internet access I have is from my mum and dad's house... They are with Tiscali... who haven't been the best over the last few years, but do seem to be getting there and haven't had any problems for a while touch wood...
I'm tempted for ease to just go with them on there upto 8mb BB... For just under £15 quid a month...

Anyone got a better option for me, as I ain't to hot on computers and tbh am sick to death of looking round for other options... I just wanna get on-line...

PS... I wanna use my Wii on-line and play Mario Kart too...

Try the computer section, they'll know who's hot at the mo.

I'm with Tiscali, but they cap the speeds and don't like large downloads.

Be Unlimited (www.bethere.co.uk) are hands down the best ISP on the market, provided you live reasonably close to an enabled exchange that is... £18 a month for high speed ADSL2+ download (they quote 'up to 24Mb/s', but you won't get that. Around 15Mb/s is achievable), the best upload speed on the market (1.3Mb/s) and completely unlimited service.

Leaving NTL for them was one of the best decisions of my life!!

I second this choice Chris as you are not far from the exchange so you will get the full 24mb's

o2 Broadband.

8mb £7.50 if your a o2 customer or £12.50 if your not, and that price isnt for the first 3 months and all that crap, its for the whole time you have o2 broadband.

Iv got it and its the best broadband iv ever had at home.

Just go on the o2 site and click broadband and check it out.

Another vote for BE.

Just switched from BT and am now getting 15mb downstream and 1.8mb upstream.

And their support is excellent.

go to Samknows Broadband - Comprehensive Broadband Information and check what LLU providers are at your exchange.
