Which ISP (ADSL) for Ludgershall exchange

I'm looking for suggestions for a solid reliable ISP that won't slow me down during evening and weekends, unlike the Virgin Media cable I am with now. Usage primarily for console gaming, Skype, and video streaming as well as normal web site visits. I have a BT phoneline (line rental and call charges go to Tesco home phone). I would prefer short contracts so that I can move to another ISP if it doesn't work out. After some looking around Zen, IDNET and Uno/Xilo seem to tick most boxes.

Information about my exchange as reported by SamKnows: http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/STLGSHL
Site also reports my house approximately 398 metres away from exchange.

If you need more info please ask, I'll try to answer.

Any feedback and other suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.

My first choice would be uno "pro" since the exchange is TalkTalk LLU'd - about £15 per month for 100GB, unmetered after 8pm and weekends, no contact - but probably a £48 activation/migration fee which may be a lot if you wish to leave after a few months for what ever reason.

Check for availability on the their free phone sales number if you want, but I think they are very busy now with new orders so be patient

Hi,
What sort of monthly usage are you looking for?

After checking on the uno/xilo site my line is eligible for the following packages. Apart from the upload rate and price differences, does anyone know what the difference is between the "Pro" and "Home / Office" products?

Hi,

I think 100GB per month would be okay as a rough estimate as usage varies monthly.

"Office" has an uncapped upstream speed on G.DMT (ADSL MAX) - 21CN WBC is apparently not available at your exchange http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/STLGSHL

Okay, so the "Pro" product appears to be best for my line? I am looking at either the "Pro unmetered" product at £17.49 a month plus VAT, or the "Pro Advanced" 10GB with the 2.5Mb upload for £22.91 a month plus VAT.

Is the 2.5Mb upload speed worth the extra money and the sacrafice of "unmetered" billing?

I upload at a steady ~850Kbps (upstream sync 1022Kbps) with uno Pro 50GB (TTB partial LLU) without any problems - I guess only you can decide if a faster upload speed is required and whether or not you need unlimited usage
