Yeah, they are a bit expensive..

I am waiting to speak to an advisor from BT.. to make sure which exchange Im on.. as the merthyr tydfil one gives me more LLU options. Until I get this information the search is on hold.

My postcode is CF48 4NG, Ive put it into an online checker and its come back as Ynysowen. Are these checkers 100% accurate?

use your telephone number instead, more accurate;

UKO are not an option at Ynysowen though they might be at Merthyr. However, if you are connected via Merthyr but Sky don't have capacity there, it's doubtful that UKO has.

Of course, there's always the free Wi-Fi on Stagecoach's X4 Hereford<>Cardiff service.

uk online have no limits been with them ages £19.99 up to 16mb

Problem solved

Im on the Merthyr Tydfil exchange. I rang AOL to cancel, and they have sorted me out the following:-

8Mb download speed, unlimited (no throttleing of any kind), free calls anytime national, 12 month contract - £6.99pm! Great deal imo

Problem is I have ordered talk talk in between lol, will ring them tomorrow to cancel. Nightmare, but at least at the end of it I will have a cracking deal.

Wont have to pay the £65 early cancelation fee with BT either.

Thanks for all the help guys.

Great deal yes. If only it was true! I'd bet my bottom dollar that you've been lied to.

yeah, aol will tie you into thel long contract then your service will go to hell and when you complain they'll say it's a contended service and you aren't guaranteed to get line speed etc etc. imo you should avoid them

Well, i had them for years (got two addresses, had them on other address - no longer needed, so change deal over then transfer to new address). I started off on the £30pm top platinum unlimited 8Mb deal, then got it reduced to £18pm after two years because I went to leave. Its been at least 2-3 years since that, and they have offered it for £6.99pm now with phone thing. I have always had full speed and smash the downloads, so there defo is no limit. Never throttled or nothing. So, as long as it does what it always has, I will take the cheaper price and the phones lovely

You do have me worried now tho!

You should be worried. The AOL cupboard is rather bare as most of their customers seem to have left but the horror stories listed there should give you fair warning.
