  • Broadband you rate or hate?

    I've been with talk talk for years, they've been good with steady broadband, but the service as all gone to pot, so it's time to change.

    I was with Sky years ago, but the speed used to be turned down at peak times to nothing, have they improved?

    But the best deal for fast broadband appears to be Vodafone, anyone using Vodafone, any problems with streaming?

    Anyone to avoid? Thanks

    I've got a £10 per month big value bundle with Vodafone for my mobile and a Broadband/TV package with Virgin. No problems with either.

            I'm in North Cardiff and a number of providers including sky have told me they cannot match Virgin , the only one I've not chatted with is BT ..

            Some providers will strangle your downloads though depending on their source for streaming and web browsing its brilliant , their wi fi hub is good bit not , with decent extenders its perfect

              I switched to Zen Broadband about five years ago after reading that they were the highest rated Broadband provider by Which and I'm still with them. It was their customer relations that was mainly responsible for their good review and, in my experience, it was justified because they are a lot better on that score than any other I've been with. I've never been kept waiting long when I ring them and their staff are very patient and informative. Their prices have risen once I think in all the time I've been with them, but I'm expecting that to change any time soon, I can definitely recommend them though and the last time I looked at Which they were still very highly rated.

                Just left BT. I had no complaints about the quality of the service but the monthly instalments were too high.Switched to a special deal with Sky, which came in around 55% of the price of the BT package I was on (and they installed a SkyQ dish and box accordingly).

                    I use IDnet not the cheapest but very reliable, rarely dropping off, also as Bob says of his provider, very helpful on the rare occasions I have had to contact them.

                      I'd have to ask my neighbour. I can say it's very reliable though, and cheap! :hehe:

                      Edit: Not that secure though!

                        I'm with BT, £29 ish a month for 150gb. Had no problems with it in the 9 odd months with them. Utility Warehouse were ok, poor customer service was the main issue for me though. Definitely recommend going through TopCashback or similar.

                          In the Summer I live in a small town in the NW of Arizona (Payson).

                          There's one broadband option - Suddenlink.

                          It's $86 pcm for "up to" 100MBps per month. That's without any TV services or landlines. That's over $1k a year.

                          I cannot wait for Verizon or T-Mobile to stick a 5G mast up and offer service. Mind you the thick Trumper conspiracy theorists will probably burn the mast down in a month.

                            We've been with EE for several years now. They are very reliable by us only dropping off once or twice in all the time we have been with them. But...was on 60mb and now they have been fully taken over and integrated with BT, best they could do on renewal was 36mb for £36/month +RPI annual increase including landline and free calls. Also get an extra 5gb of data on the mobile as that is EE, too.
