Re: Find me a new ISP?

You are not making any sense at all. In fact you seem to be talking random nonsense. You said:-
I cancelled with o2 and changed to BE broadband but found that they couldn't provide all the services I wanted but their speeds were fine round the clock
So their speeds were fine around the clock, ie no traffic management, no throttling and no congestion. Which from your posts in general seem to be what you want.

However there is something else they don't provide and despite two of us asking what that is, you refuse to say, and you now say that Be is irrelevant.

What kind of mixed up request is that?

Be and Sky are the only two ISPs who offer true unlimited download amounts. Both have clauses however to protect the network against abuse, which is not the same thing at all as download limits! The Sky stuff is saying simply that there is no restriction on amounts. They are saying there is traffic management - which does not make them not unlimited.

Be satisfies all your stated needs. Your unstated ones are only known to you. O2 is totally different, as you have apparently already discovered.

On the technical side, with respect to gaming, Be is streets ahead of Sky. In fact from many posts here from ex UKOnline customers it is better than that for gaming. On Be you can choose sync-time noise margins as low as 3dB, where Sky will not go below 7dB, and you can also have Fast Path - which although I may be wrong I don't think is available on Sky. So Be latency is almost certainly better than Sky, and as I understand it that is the case even on Be Interleaved.

As for
The BE thing isn't really that important to be honest. I just put that in there so people wouldn't suggest them as a possible provider good speeds
"To be honest" it looks to me to be the most important thing of all.

Have a look at the various posts on the Sky forum if you are thinking of using their LLU unlimited package.
