Since i mainly use newsgroups i thought i would ask here. Im really getting sick of freedom2surf as they keep throttling my connection to 600kbs. Can anyone make a reccomendation for a uk isp which has 8mb+, low ping, uncapped, and has NO traffic shaping? Or could you guys just tell me what you use and your experience :)
 
I havent used bt for ages since they kicked me for using too much bandwidth. they still like to send me the join btbroadband letter though.

Nope they will just cancell the contract. They are a useless bunch of twats though. they gave me a month to switch providers and a migration code. the same evening i swapped to zeninternet but bt cocked it all up and cancelled my broadband straight away and made me pay a
 
I'm on Tesco's cheapest unimited plan and their news service is supplied by NTL.
Completion is very good and retention is about 4 or 5 days which is often long enough to get what you want if you keep an eye out.
They carry about 50,000 groups which includes a lot of (but obviously not all) binary groups.
 
Blueyonder is the best. But bethere.co.uk have like 24mb broadband. The trick is that not all BT lines can support past 8mb. Check http://www.samknows.com/broadband/checker2.php and type in your postcode and telephone number and see what your max speed is. Mine is currently 4.5mb therefore i cannot even use the 8mb bullldog and i will only get 4.5mb max. Thats why i got blueyonder. The lines are compatible with high speeds.

@Creomortis
If your speed has always been throttled to 600kb/s then this means thats the max speed your BT line can handle.

ur right, and wrong.

ur right, its not cable.
ur wrong though, its not adsl.
its adsl2+, using llu technology, and isnt available to most ppl.

90% of cable users (mainly big cities or well built up areas) can get llu through their phone line. thats why i referred to it as cable, even though its not.
 
im currently with demon, its unlimited and unshaped atm, but not for long.
with their free upgrade to maxdsl (8mb) they are introducing a fair usage policy with a peak time cap. it will remain unthrottled/unshaped though.

their free usenet news service is rubbish. it lists the binaries, but wont actually let me download. constantly gives me the error "article not found" when trying to download.

if its adsl u want, go for this: http://broadband.nildram.net/products/broadband2/

if its cable, go with blueyonder, or be.
 
Uh j0hn be is not cable :P Its ADSL.

Anyway im with NTL 1 meg (cable). All their broadband speeds are completely unlimited and no throttling etc. Blueyonder is completely unlimited too.
