DEZ Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) hay guys i got AOL atm but i hate them for reasons so there out the only good reason about AOL is it has unlimted downlod capacity which i never knew and took advantage of, i cant seam to find a differnt provider with the same spec- im looking for about 2 meg possibly wireless not too bothered if its wireless. in any other case ive been looking at wandoo package ist 22.99 its 8 meg and has a 6 gb download capacity or 27.99 for 8 meg with 30gb this leaves more questions.can i get 8 meg in my area.is 8 meg too much or for that priceor is it exclent .is 6 gb too much or too little download roomtake a look for your self providersp.s im not too sure what my usual download is a moth i usual go on websites msn and play games i do have the usual song now and then or a movie so yeah so if there are any other providers i am missing out on let me know pleaseDEZ Edited January 6, 2006 by DEZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanPoet Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 In the past 6 years I've had Freeserve, BT, Plusnet and now I have Bulldog. I would recommend BT for free equipment and service but I've got Bullldog just for price. I'd heard some bad things about Bulldog but I gave them the benifit of the doubt and everything appears to be fine, in fact I've had them for over a month and I havn't been charged yet...So, BT if you want free equipment and tech support or Bulldog for price. Also, with download limits I've never had any problems and I download about 1.5gb a day on average.1. BT2. Bulldog3. Wannado4. PlusnetShit, why can I not string a concise and interesting sentance together... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Shaw Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 and I download about 1.5gb a day on average.Thats sounds like a fair bit each day! Are you downloading music or something all the time? Just wondering, as im trying to get a rough idea of how much i download a day. This may sound silly, but does basically using the internet and browsing sites eat into monthly usage quite alot?Stan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up'n'away Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I am on AOL.The good things :Unlimated Download Good Price for the connection speeds.Bad things:Disconects alot - Tends to be Server sideUnhelpful Total pricks that dont know what the hell theyre on about.Ok , recently i have been disconected from 1 - 5 days becuase of theyre service and they say its BT - (This happens alot).Well i suppose its your choice at the end of the day but my opinion would be a definate NO...Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 PipexAOL suck hard - i lasted less than 4 days before i changedI think NTL have a download limit now - for new accounts at least.I'm with nildram now. Ive got a 2meg pay as you go thingy for £16 a month - you get 2gb a month but you can buy extra gigabytes so its good for people who don't download loads of dvd rips all the time.I think they still do a package where you get 50GB downloads per month daytime use plus unlimited night time downloads for about £26 a month (used to be a 2meg line - may be faster now). Service has been faultless so far (6 months) my mum's been using them for about 5 years with no trouble. They'll also do static IP addresses and other such business if you need it. they're here - www.nildram.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Think im changing to bulldog 8mb soon, should be reet good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koxx_TryAll Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Not Wanadoo, I was with Freeserve for a few years, then it changed to Wanadoo, got a later today after having 576kbps for at least 4 years saying "Thank you for a long term relationship (or something) we are willing to upgrade your connection to 2MB free of charge." f**king what? Every other company only did that last year you c**ts. But can't be bothered changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
