plus.net are ok,
sign up for adsl premier 2mb, and when ur bt exchange gets upgraded (May/june/july) they'll maximise your bandwidth (a possible 8mbps) for free.

But how many times will they have changed their policies again before then, claiming not to have changed them, making complete U-Turns on policy (see the Fair-Usage Policy saga) and claiming it's an upgrade when it's not? 
For anyone not in the know, they started off as an "unlimited-download" ISP. They then found that a few individuals were using the service 24/7, and didn't like this despite their "unlimited" claims". So, the "Bad Boy Pipe" was introduced - this meant that anyone who tried to use the service as unlimited (as advertised) had their connection slowed RIGHT down until they begged for forgiveness, etc etc. This was then complained about, so after a short-while of listening to MANY complaints, they decided to remove the "unlimited" from their product-descriptions, and bring in the fair-usage policy. This meant there were many different products, each having different speeds and amounts you could download during a month. They advertised this as the solution to all of their problems and that everyone would be happy. Quite a few people were not, and threatened to leave. Shortly before all of the fair-usage products were intended to be introduced, Plus.Net then U-turned, stating that "fair usage" was not economically viable in today's broadband market so it would be abandoned. The replacement? Traffic-shaping (the slowdown of what they consider non-essential services - gaming, file-sharing, etc) during peak hours) of the lower-end products, and contention-monitoring on their own network (now, what this means is that they will be monitoring how much bandwidth you use and, if they consider this to be too much, they will terminate your connection and help you find another ISP to connect with). Now, what quite a lot of PN customers are not happy about with this second part is that PN have yet to give any figures for "too much bandwidth", all they will say is "you know when you're using too much".
Would you buy something from a company like this?
