I need a new ISP Help

[stetheboro]

Just wondering what ISP people here are using and if they are any good.

I have been with a company named Nildram now for the last 10 months and have not had a problem with them with 100gig monthly download allowance.

In the last 2 weeks I have seen my speed drop dratically from 3.2mb down to 120k for the last 3 days. I have had BT out and they advises that it is the ISP problem as the equipment here at the house is fine. Needless to say the ISP tried to fobb me off with bullshit. Im now connected at 1mb and the ISP tech spud says that is all my line can handle, I said about before and he said something must have changed and they can do nothing. I requested my MAC code and had it within 2 mins, now Im in the look out for a new ISP pretty quick.

My line has never received over 4.1mb as I live in a field basically LOL What Im looking for is something with a half decent download limit/unlimited but not going to drop the line all the time and have a decent Fair usage Policy, I only really download overnight so the peak times etc aint much of a problem

Any suggestions would be great

Thanks

To say your speed has dropped from 3.2 meg to a meg, and downloading at 120kb is poor, i think either nildram has started to throttle you, or there is a problem with your local exchange. check it on Samknows

Regarding your new isp all depends on your budget, and how much you download etc. compare them and read peoples experiences on the forum thinkbroadband :: The UK's largest independent Broadband / ADSL review site - Your guide to UK broadband Internet.

Me i'm currently with plusnet, but do all my downloading at off peak times i.e midnight till 8.00 am - i'm moving house soon and will be putting all my eggs in one basket with sky, the max product!! Good luck
