"BT Broadband."

So, the restrictions have finally been lifted, allowing me to get broadband. Problem is, I have to go with BT so they can remove my ISDN network for free.

But how good is their broadband service? I would be going for the BT Yahoo broadband (with router for the Xbox - though it's currently not in the same room as my PC, so could be a problem). Anyone else got this and, if so, is it any good?

I have it and it's as good as the next service.

Although they are introducing usage limits, meaning it could be a problem if you intend to play Xbox Live or download a lot.

It's ok except in January there's a 15GB a month limit.

I hope to go with www.plus.net as they have a good service and have been reakomended. Don't quite understand how you have to go with BT (unless there was a contract saying you had to) BT get money for anyone using telephone system to get broadband, just less if you don't use them as an ISP.

I have 1MB with a 30GB cap, but not even I download that much. Heh.

What's with all the capped services? I'm sure you can get 8Mb uncapped for about £13 a month in Japan from Yahoo! Why are we so far behind?

I have BT too, The connection is shared between 2 PCs, 1 laptop, 1 xboxlive, 1 PS2, 1 GC and soon another PC. So yeah when this comes into affect I'll have to have a new home.

Staying with BT is due to me having a large box which has to be taken off the wall and replaced with the DSL network. BT would charge me for taking it away so I could have Broadband from anyone, but it's a free service if I join BT broadband

I have BT Yahoo broadband, and I must say im impressed. Openworld wasn't too good, but the broadband is excellent.

Hehe - leaving BT now...

Just can't do the limit...

I find BT Broadband fine. I'm not on the Yahoo thing though. Apparently, according to BT, 15 GB is still enough for me. I don't really download that much, but I do have Xbox Live and I do surf the net for stupid amounts of time. Go with BT for a year and then change if you need to.

Simple.
