"Broadband - quickfire Q's"

Basically, is it worth getting the £22.99 a month BT Broadband package, it's 1MB and allows 15GB per month

I just want to know if I'd be able to download films as it allows 15 hours a day and also is 15GB enough to surf sites for about 2 hours a day (e.g eBay and SR)

Is it good for MSN and would that speed be completely different to my current Dial-Up Connection ?

If not, what is the best package ? (e.g low price, about 1MB speed, high/no download limits)

Thanks

I'd have to agree that Blue Yonder 'Complete' looks very good, totally uncapped without much to pay

But I'm not in the reception area :(

They referred me to ntl/freedom, but this sucks, cheap price but 5GB a month (including time in a day) is crap

Better to pay a fiver more for three times the limit

Blueyonder "Complete" is what I have, I'm assuming the price dropped without me realising :F

Yeah, it'd be good if you could look at the Blue Yonder site for me

Thanks

I've got 1mb Blueyonder broadband with no limit for just a couple of pounds more than that. Whether or not being a customer already effects the price I dont know, I'll have a look on the site.

So illegal downloading of films is a no-no at the moment, got it

Still 'toying' with the idea of BT though, just how good is 15GB a month ?

That's much, much worse. Selling films illegally is even stupider than just downloading them from the Internet.

As long as your friend is downloading them he is putting them onto different sections of his hard-drive. So he will get caught even if he does burn to disc.
