New broadband connection?????

I'm looking at changing my current broadband connection from BT to try to
save money.
I've seen Supanet at £17.99 a month for a 2Mb connection and 3GB bandwith.
I'm not a massive downloader and don't game at all but will surf for about
2-3 hours a day, can any recommend an better offer of tell me and pro's or
con's with this one?

cheers

There's no advantage in paying for a 2Mb connection when you only
plan to surf the net. A half Mb connection is just as quick to
download webpages.

Unless, of course, it's the same price for any speed.

Can't agree with this. I mainly surf and found a better experience with each
upgrade from 0.5 to 1 to 2 Mb

I second that - a noticeable difference in surfing speeds, but especially in
the updating downloads.

I agree, got a 2 meg connection at work & a 512k connection at home and
the difference just for surfing & emailing is astounding.
