Best broadband deals uk
Hello, I use the internet on a daily basis, and need a fast connection, but would also like a good landline telephone deal. Do any members know of any isp deals.

Re: Best broadband deals uk
Would definitely recommend Virgin Media (ntl:telewest) if you want a fast connection. A lot better than the ADSL alternatives.

I Would Recommend, Sky Broadband MAX 16MBit, £10 Per Month!

Re: Best broadband deals uk
Most people aren't able to get Sky Broadband and certainly not 16mbit.

I'm sorry but you just can't say that - in your experience it may. You just can't say Ntl will suit the poster without getting more info.
Personally Ntl was rubbish for me - Sky is much better (touch wood) it all depends on the circumstances of the user.
