In reply to a post by Cyfer:
no pesky landline that I'd have to pay more for.
You always have to pay line rental wherever you go.

Apologies, I have been misleading again. I am already paying line rental... however I won't have to put another landline on the bill if I go with Be Value

Be Value seems to be your best option. A superb 84% of connection speed almost 24/7 - maybe next year the Olympics will have an effect but the last ones didn't really. Maybe a drop to 80% when every other ISP fell to 50% or lower.

Worth noting is that Value is interleaved only. Pings 20-30ms. On Unlimited you can have fast path, pings 9-20ms.

20-30 ms is amazing. I've also looked at Be's terms and regulations for their 'unlimited' download and it seems fine.

Thank you for the help

Well there is always a possibility there is something special (ly poor) about your link to the exchange, or the exchange location, but that is a typical Be latency range.
