Given the government's current announcement on censorship, I can only recommend AAISP, no-one else.

Got to say I agree with this. I did get sick of having to use a VPN to get to sites that were legal but were blocked on BT

TalkTalk Business look quite attractive at the moment, for the benefit of users not named frogmella ...

There is currently £150 cashback(TopCashBack) for TT Business Complete Fibre(includes lots of extras like free calls etc) - costs £45(inc VAT)/month with 24 month contract. When you take account of cashback you're paying about £38/month over 24 months(and that includes free calls).

After the first twelve months you can break your contract with £125 early termination if you want - assuming they don't raise prices and allow you to terminate penalty free. Effectively £38/month, great customer service, free calls ... maybe worth a look

Does anyone have any useful information on TalkTalk in particular?


3 major data breeches in as many years would mean a very long barge pole.....

Worth a shot - although it does say

Just so you know...
Unfortunately this merchant has a known tracking issue. We are busy chasing this up with the merchant and still want to give you the opportunity to earn cashback on your purchase. If your transaction does not track within 7 days, please submit a Missing Cashback Claim where our team will endeavour to chase the missing cashback.

But it's £150.80

last time I checked it was £60.

wutr, Did you decide on anything and how did it go?

I have BT 50/10 but out of contract and its £45 p/m now with line rental. It does seem to be very good, nevertheless wanted to see if I could get better.

Talk Talk Business informed me they have 20:1 contention ratio on business broadband and 100:1 on residential. I didn't know if it's relevant for fibre but does suggest a difference between residential and business.

I'm also looking at cloudscape, pulse8, zen and what about plusnet business?

I have attached my current quality monitor to my signature, could any isp improve on that?

Well, yes. I was planning to post here when the service went live, as I'm still in the 14 day cooling off period should I decide to change my mind.

I ended up choosing value for money and compromised on upload speed to get BT infinity 1 (52/10). The Black Friday deal, mastercard and topcashback meant the average monthly is less than £16, it's only a 12 month contract (in case I really don't like it it won't cost the earth to cancel) and it has IPv6. So that's where I'm at at the moment.

Probably a good/best choice.

Thats what I am on now. We get to use all of the 50/10 (9999 / 54935) which is capped with a potential max sync rate of 23776 / 81078. To be honest it seems very good, I never noticed a slow down, if you look at my sig it will show the last 24hrs. We have never had a problem, apart from a few iffy weeks all the neighbours had as well. It's just the price now thats the problem.

When I took it out 2015 I got the quidco cashback of £180 and £100 sainsburys card, no set up fee which made the whole thing average at £5.65 p/m over 12months, until they increased the price half way through. Now after 12 months it's £45 p/m without caller ID. I took the t.v just to get extra cashback, but cancelled on 12 months when the free period stopped.

P.S my speed test was wifi and while others in the house were online.
