Cheapest Unlimited Broadband in a 2mbps area?


[link to this post]
 
A college at work is currently with Orange is has been told they're upping their monthly change to £25 a month. She tells me she lives in a 2meg area (SR4 8JG) and is now looking at o2s unlimited pack, any other ISPs & packages you guys can recommend (the cheaper the better).

She used it from browsing to downloading and streaming a lot of media.
Also her son uses it for Xbox Live all the time.

I've heard tiscali has issues with Live?

Virgin?

What do you mean a 2meg area? she's only down the road from the exchange. She could get the full 8megs or 24Megs if only LLU was available.

It says
our exchange is ADSL enabled, and our initial check on your postcode indicates that your line should be able to have an ADSL broadband service that provides a fixed line rate up to 2Mbps.

Our check also indicates that your line currently supports a potential ADSL Max broadband line rate of 4.5Mbps or greater.

Congratulations, you are in a broadband enabled area.
Click here to compare packages available to you.
The following services are available in your location:

BT Wholesale ADSL
BT Wholesale ADSL Max
Virgin Media (Cable)
Please select the options on the left for more information about broadband availability at your location.

which to me is showing that cable is now available at this postcode, so i would double check the virgin media website to find out if this is right

pipex -> Plusnet -> Metronet (very happy untill evil plusnet takeover) -> NewNet (looking good so far) -> Sky Max loving the speed shame about the CS if you need it

I think the SamKnows site just provides details of the services available in the exchange area, not what's available at the postcode address.
