BT Broadband 8mb (actually 5mb in my area). Think it's around £22.99 a month but it gets added to the phone bill.
6mb usage a month but have been over and not had a problem. Always on as well, never had a problem.

forgot to mention speeds. Largely depends on where you're downloading from obviously, but highest is around 700kb/s averaging 600kb/s from decent sites.

Zen Internet, 2Mbps unlimited (no fair usage policy, no caps, not available to order any more, all new connections go on MaxDSL).
Oh, and I have access to the central pipes, since I work for them (which is why I haven't included the price, as it wouldn't be a valid comparison)!

i had no end of problems with them, shit speeds using torrents (widely acknoldged they traffic shape) etc. I was also payin for 2mb even though my line could only receive 1mb as i later found out, i rang them up and asked for a refund (after 2 months) and they said they couldn't give me one as I didnt let them know straight away, so I pointed out to them that if I had no Idead aboout the Internet etc then I'd have no way of knowing that they were charging me for a servie I wasn't getting, and they would have been charging me for something that I wasn't getting, which is technically stealing, (I had quite a large record of bandwidth tests, ping times etc to back me up) asked to speak to a supervisor and within 5 minutes, instead of having to pay them £60 to leave, I was allowed to migrate for free and got a refund of all the money owed. I just feel sorry for all the people who may have been in the same boat as me but had no way of knowing they were being ripped off for something they weren't even getting

I kicked off with them because they were charging me more for 500kbps than they were charging for 1mb. They said they left it up to their customers to upgrade 
I upgrdaded, paying less and now have 2mb. Looking to change.
