If I was use I would concentrate on those ISPs who allow you to sign up to 3 months contracts or less. The EntaNet resellers, NewNet, and IDNet are regularly recommended. Identify a few and then look in the forums for the ISPs which interest you against your specific needs. There is a specialised games forum which you should also check out.

125gb download cap during Peak (office hours')

'Unlimited' at all other times

What are Peak and Off Peak Hours?

Peak Hours are defined as Monday to Friday 8AM - 10PM (8AM - 8PM Office connections)

Off Peak Hours are defined as Monday - Thursday 10pm - 8AM and Friday 10pm - Monday 8AM

this package no longer exists

max bandwidth is now 50GB/month if you reach or exceed this you are severely throttled

just about to leave their clutches

Go with Entanet.

I expect the OP has long gone. His MAC only has another couple of days.

Don't you just hate it when an OP asks for help then never posts again in the thread? Drives me bonkers.
