BEST INTERNET PROVIDER (SOUTH-WEST)

Posted by United Kingdom Foze on 2009-10-30 19:00:20
Currently im with tiscali, and i can say they are shit.

Im from the south west of england (bristol) and wondering what the top internet providers are around the area. Prices and speeds would be handy :)

thanks

I live near Bristol, and you're wrong it is a shit hole, walking around fishponds or st pauls at night makes you more than likely a stab victim.

such a bad call, more likely to get stabbed in easton or horfield st pauls is safe these days!

Don't go with Virgin, if you download during peaktimes you're only allowed 50% of your bandwidth :/

Still 50%of 20mb is still faster that what you will get with most providers, i have virgin bb and its sweet, pingas are always good too.

If your in the UK theres a few decent isp's that prioritise gaming traffic, the difference is noticable, and their tech support is always amazing, you can always turn off interleaving easily with them etc

I highly recommend PlusNet, they have gamers in mind, and know their stuff - but aint too expensive.

They also push the limits, they upgraded me to ADSL2+ for free

(I have a referral code for them if you want it - but regardless they have been my favourite isp so far)

i had plusnet and it was dire, mega throttling and also less than 1 meg speeds. They were amazing for the first month or so. I know 3 people who also had that problem with them. Now im at be getting 4 times what i was gettting on plusnet and also a good ping.
Edit, wow thats 2 months old. You probily had the same problems as me in the past month :P

Well whatever, they restrict what you PAY for if you download during the day... fucking ridiculous

I find it strange that some of you are stating that Virgin are " throttling" your connections.
I'm only on the 10mb but I get the full speed all the time :/
Been with them for years and years. Oh well :)

YES BRISTOL! Im a Weston home boy! xD

*edit* I guess i should be helpful :P I'm on BT never had a problem with it going down or whatever and the download speed seems fine, though the only downside is that since Christmas my ping has increased to 50+ on UK servers :( Usual ping on UK servers at 40-50.

I recommend Be/O2 best providers going for gaming pretty much, speed depends on how far you are from the exchange but regardless ping is always amazing. :)

I live just North of Bristol and Virgin have always been reliable for me.

Speeds are consistent and I've rarely experienced any downtime at all with the service. They're pretty helpful over the phone to if you ever do experience problems, unlike the standard message of 'turn power off and on please sir' from most of the Indian's you get through to.
