Looking for broadband package for parents.

Hi,

I'm looking for a broadband package for my parents.

I see Plusnet do a £15 a month one. Any reliable £10 packages?
As you can imagine they wont need anything above 256k or 512k at most.
A monthly cap also shouldnt be an issue.

Thanks

there aren't any £10 packages apart from 512k on UKOnline unbundled
exchanges or mortgage your house and pay for 2 years in advance deals

Seconded, have been with them coming up to 3 years, excellent service and
their support know what they are talking about. Oh and they also support
Linux if thats impotant to you, it was to me.

Had similar problem - just signed the wrinklies up to Ukonline 512k service
£9.99 ( they could get the 8mb service) but dammed if i'm gonna pay for
8mb when i can only get 2mb at my exchange

only helps i guess if your are in Ukonlines LLU catchment area

Thanks for all your replies.

Looks like if I want unmetered, I'm looking at £15.
I think if I go for a lower service I would prefer capped as opposed
to Pay as you Go. Metronet does look good though....

How about www.ndo.com? I just got my 2mb and there and its pretty sweet..r

NTL 1meg broadband is £9.99 for one year, by which time the prices will
either remain at that and that speed, or increase in speed but for similiar
price, as I imagine they'll be light users.

I'd go with NTL for now due to that excellent offer! If you find a better
deal after a while there's nothing to stop them moving elsewhere, but as i
say the market will change *significantly* in the next year so they'd get
the cheap offer, and more afterwards. Yippee!

Apologies, didn't read properly; for your parnets you wouldn't need an
uncapped service, surely?

They could download plenty per day with allowances available by NTL,
plusnet, and other companies.

please dont consider plusnet if you want excessive wait times for cs and
days before they answer any tickets
