Recommendations for cheap broadband

A friend is currently on dial up and looking to move to a "broad"band
service.

Wanadoo offer a cheap 17.99p/m deal but that has a 2gb cap which probably
won't be enough for a house with two sons in it , and I think they would be
better with a slower but unlimited offering.
Are there any 256k services that would do the job?

Being on cable myself I have no idea what ADSL deals are out there at the
mo.

v21 offer an uncapped 512k package for £16.99 a month (£9.99 a month for
the first two months). I've been using them for dial-up for a while now
with no problems, but have myslef just ordered an ADSL package with
Plusnet.

I am looking for a BB ISP (January 12 is BB Day) but, with apologies
for the cynicism, I do get a bit suspicious when I see a recommendation
that ends 'please enter my referral code'.

How does this system work? Is it a way to build up a cash pot so you
can afford to switch to another provider when you have 'saved' enough
:-)

For all I know efhbroadband may be the best thing since sliced bread
but references to referral codes just put me off..

That particular one pays out a fiver per new customer. The one I use
will pay out small sums (25p, 50p) for each month that they remain a
customer and while I remain a customer... I wouldn't expect someone
to use a service that I don't use, hence recommend things I do :-)

>but references to referral codes just put me off..

I expect the MD of many a firm gets e-mail 'recommending' use of some
BT internet service (eg BT Broadband) from a "BT Partner" and many IT
firms rely on commission as a way to either exist (recipients) or get
larger market share... Plus.Net and others expect happy customers to
be even happier, if they get some sort of thanks for recommendations!
