BT, Tiscali or Talk Talk?


[link to this post]
 
After falling out with Virgin big time have got them to agree to let me out of their VIP contract.

I live in Gorleston (nr Gt Yarmouth) which gives me a choice of Tiscali or Talk talk for LLU or someone like BT.

If I went the BT route would go for the BT total option 3 as I want 30+ GB per month downloads.
I could go Talk talk for 40GB per month downloads.
Tiscali have just been added to the LLU list for my area so could go that route.

Trouble is, on this forum I read mainly bad things about all 3.

With Virgins 20mbps service while I received around 16mbps during the day or the middle of the night, between 4pm and midnight (when my family want to use it) it was often as slow as dialup and hardly ever above 2mbps.

Will be using the line for gaming and MSN (3 PC's or 2 PC's and Xbox 360)

Any suggestions (don't really want to pay over

Can you get BE or Sky on your exchange? If not then I'd suggest one of the following:

An Entanet resller
Newnet
IDnet
Zen

The ISPs mentioned in your subject line should generally be avoided at all costs.

Good advice the ISPS to avoid due to poor gaming, poor downloads and non existant customer support are :-

Orange
Pipex
Tiscali
BT
Sky
Virgin
TalkTalk

If all you need is a cheap connection to browse the internet then they are fine but for anything else pay a bit more and use a quality ISP.
