Re: Sky -v- TalkTalk


[re: deleted] [link to this post]
 
As kwikbreaks says. I would say of the three best to consider - IDNet, Zen and Newnet - that Zen 8000 Active may be the one to look at. IDNet have a 30GB package at a similar price.

Your cheapest "good" one is Newnet Home S but they count upload as well as download. The other two only count download.

However, as long as you went for the monthly contract then Newnet may be the best choice and see how it goes with regard to usage. I found speeds with them were 70%-90% of profile nearly all the time, the evenings actually being quicker than the week day-time. (Due to businesses going off-line).

Bob: Demon dialup >> Freeserve dialup >> BT Broadband >> Prodigynet >> Newnet >> O2 Standard.

Also try plugging router directly into the test socket to see if you can squeeze out some more signal thus greater sync rate.
