Anyone on here with Wanadoo Broadband? They've got a reasonable deal on at the moment, but I want to know if it'll work with Xbox Live?

Also, the price I'm looking at has a limit of 2GB a month which I know is quite low, but I won't be using Xbox Live a huge amount - perhaps an hour a day, probably not even that to be honest. Will this limit be enough?

Cheers.

'for the win'

Wanadoo uncapped is good, or so I've heard. But I use BT and it's a damn good service, a 15GB monthly limit and 15 hours a day is all you'll need and it's a 2MB connection

On the downside it costs in excess of £20

Go to the Metronet website, and check the links to reviews of their service. They come out above both Demon AND Wanadoo in every category.

The Metronet 2Mb service is £18.75 a month. And only a three-month minimum contract. If you go with someone else, it's a minimum of a year, and when you cancel, you give back the equipment.

With Metronet, I have a totally wireless network at home, with 1Mb Broadband, which works a treat with Xbox Live. It's costing me £14 a month, and if I want to cancel, I can, no fees or anything like that, plus I'll STILL have all my wireless router, bridge, etc etc.

The 2mb with Metronet is cheaper than that, plus you have no cap, and no year-long contract.

Trust me, it's the future.

£5 more a month for Demon gets you a 2mb connection, unmetered transfer limit, free modem and free setup.
