Broadband in a village location

Hi

I searched the samknows website with my postcode, which says I only have The following services are available in my location:

BT Wholesale ADSL
BT Wholesale ADSL Max

I am disappointed after getting Sky that they caouldn't give their �5/ month broadband. I would like to know who is the best option where there is a limited option.

Thanks

Well you could go for any ISP that uses BT wholesale connections.
I.E. Virtually every ISP other than BEthere.

What do you mean by "limited option"?
The way I see it, is you're only limited by the fact you can't get LLU services.

What sort of usage do you need (2,3,4,10,20,30,40GB etc.)?

Good ISPs available on BT Wholesale ADSL and ADSL Max include IDNet, Zen Newnet and most of the Entanet resellers, (ADSL24, vivaciti, ukfsn, freeola and more).

As adebov says, the choice partly depends on how much traffic you will generate. Also how much you want or are willing to spend.

If you mean this-

This is their basic ADSl max "upto" 8meg option. If they say they cant supply it the chances are you have quite a long line from the exchange. If this is the case you may wind up on one of the older fixed speed 1 meg or 2 meg products.
What happens when you type your number into the line checker?

Thanks for all the replies. I am a moderate user...and mainly need a 6 months contract for my rented house.

I realise there are other options...but, was a bit disappointed with myself that I tied myself into a 12 months contract with sky and BT with out exploring the package deals with tv/phone and broadband from the same provider.

Now as a standalone broadband contract wondered if there is a pay as you go or monthly renewal packages available.

Thanks

I would say the vast majority of ISP's have 30 days notice. It depends what your usage requirements are. Something like Zen 8000 Lite may do you. Reliable but not the cheapest.

John.

You could try one of the Enta Net resellers, you will not be tied into any long contracts.

All the ones I suggested before.

If you only want 6 months freeola may be best as they have a �9.99 connection with �9.99 for the first month as well.
