the OP didn't ask for the cheapest :-)

2 Mbits/s without explicit limits or traffic shaping / FUP for
downloads ?

It rather depends on what you thought was crap about Tesco.

I'll tell you what was crap for me with Tesco.The biggest problem i ha
was slow speeds,even when clicking onto a new web page it would take u
to 3 minutes sometimes for the page to come up,ok i was only on the 57
but it shuold'nt be like that.There were times when it was ok but mos
of the time it was pretty slow.Every time i tried to contact them t
try and sort it they promised me a phone call back off someone tha
could help never happened,told me if i left them before my 12 mont
contract was up i would get charged £80.Cost me a fortune in the end o
phone calls.Told me it could be my pc cos it was old so i bought a ne
one still the same told me to change all my filters i did still th
same so in the end i got so fed up and told them where to stick thei
broadband.It's finishing on the 18th so i got till then to decide wher
to go but i'm still unsure of where to go.I quite fancy the Wanadoo on
a couple of my friends have it and it seems ok for them

I would avoid Plusnet then as their 'traffic shaping' experiments (really
protocol throttling) have caused many people no end of grief with things
grinding to a halt, I ended up leaving them because of that. It cost me £58
repaying the initial adsl connection setup charge though, which is probably
what Tesco are wanting to claw back (the migration code did save me a £40
initial connection charge on the new account though, so the actual amount I
lost out by was £18 in the end). ISPs often seem to blame slow speeds on
the user when it's their own overloaded networks that are the problem,
ultimately it looks like all the £15/month accounts are just too good to be
true, you need to shell out a bit more to get a decent throughput.

just out of curiosity........ you werent downloading something in the
background were you?

or did you have a anti virus program installed too and have it updaterd
every week........ the reason i asked is that if your computer been hacked
it could be zapping your assingined bandwidth.
