I've just had a quick look at broadband to see if we can save money.
We've been signed up on Tesco Finest for over a year now, and I think it's around £28 a month. Looks like we're throwing our money away though?!
I jumped on the Sky website to look, and saw that their maxi bb is £10pcm for unlimited use and up to 16mb connection.
I use it mainly for gaming and browsing from a couple of computers.
What is everyone paying for their connection? Is it any good? How much etc?

I was gonna go on Sky until I found out that I would only be saving £1 a month, it wouldn't be any faster and I would have a limit, whereas I have no limit right now.

There is no limit? It's unlimited? 
Virgin is no good for me, our street doesn't have cable

I use SKY. I get the 6 mix, phone line, free off peak calls and 8MB unlimited broadband for £30 a month. Got a sky plus box off them too along with a router. Changed the router as it was shit but had no probs at all. Wanted a static IP range which i was prepared to pay for but they don't issue them.

Plus net ftw.
15gb d/l limit per month at up to 8mb speeds for £17.99 per month.
It's on a monthly contract, but sign up for a year in 1 hit and get the set up / transfer costs and router for free 
Plus if you say I referred you, I get a bit of cash back, and same if you sign up and refer someone, you get money back too!!

Dont ever try and leave them... made me wait 6 weeks until I could get a new provider! 6 weeks with no net killed me lol. Still, I'm on Orange now which ain't a lot better but at least it's free

Wanadoo did that to me too although I was waiting 2 months coz they kept 'forgetting' to cancel.

There is no such thing as unlimited internet access, of course it is limited. They should say unmetered if they do not cap your downloads. I'm with sky, pay £10 a month and have unmetered access.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
