I'm looking for a new broadband deal, and thought this would be a good thread for people to post on. We're all using the internet for a starter!!.

Personally I'm unfortunately limited to 2mb because of my line.

Carphone Warehouse are giving 8mb, 40gb data for £19.99. Two year contract - get a free laptop!!! (80gig h/drive,1 gig ram, dvd writer). AOL. Oh, it's a DELL I believe.

BT, 3 year contract same price, 8mb, still unlimited data £19.99 also. Three year contract (deal to be officially anounced tomorrow) - free laptop!! (specification to be released soon).



Personally - I'm quite liking this ''free laptop'' business.

Any thoughts - what have you seen out there?
 
i'm with virgin non cable.
19.99 a month. free anytime calls, unlimited d/l's, up to 8mb bandwidth if bt ever get their finger out and put in a new exchange, and choice of a free wireless router or freeview box. also offer 1 month notice option iirc. had all the facilities i wanted when i was looking.
no dropouts yet either - other than my router crashing.
 
I've been using eclipse for about 8 months no issues, 14.99 month...
 
I'm now on Vodafone. £25 per month, includes "8Mbps" (I get 2.5 - which is better than before), includes local and national calls and cheap international. You have to have a vodafone contract mobile otherwise it's £35pcm. So far I'm quite happy with their tech support and speed with which they respond to things - it's also FREE to phone customer service/tech support if you use your mobile (191).
 
I'm on Plusnet 8Mbps (£19.99 a month and no minimum contract so if they get crap I just move elsewhere) - had no problems, other than those caused by BT upgrading my local exchange. I hardly never use the phone so I wasn't interested in any call deals etc. Just want a stable fast connection for using Betfair and playing Counterstrike:Source.

Click to expand...

Two important words "up to".

And - in my opinion "free" should read "included in the price".
 
oh that's for sure. The risk is that tariffs drop over the length of the contract. At the moment £19.99 is roughly comparable with competition.. laptops costing £350..
