Or if your areas cabled up then look at Virgin media, broadband is one
thing they do quite well

I have been with them for 7-8 years but looking round at ADSL now since VM will
be intercepting your browsing and passing the information on to a third party
(Phorm - with connections to Russia and China).


That's become less of a probability of late

Phorm are getting all kinds of **** thrown at them atm

And - they are currently hitting people in the Preston area with a speed
reduction (from 11am to midnight) to 1/4 after 20 minutes use - to be deployed
nationwide soon(?).

I thought it was dropping connection speed by 1/3 if you go over 1Gif
between 4pm and midnight
