Since i mainly use newsgroups i thought i would ask here. Im really getting sick of freedom2surf as they keep throttling my connection to 600kbs. Can anyone make a reccomendation for a uk isp which has 8mb+, low ping, uncapped, and has NO traffic shaping? Or could you guys just tell me what you use and your experience :)
NTL or blue younder
both give 10mb i think and priced around £35.
or if u got sky tv then u could get sky broadband for cheap :P (16mb £10 month)
whats the ntl usenet server like is the retention or completion crap?
no idea, im on gay BT. :P
stay away from BT btw.
I havent used bt for ages since they kicked me for using too much bandwidth. they still like to send me the join btbroadband letter though.

I think they'd still charge the cancellation fee though.:PQuote:

I'm on Tesco's cheapest unimited plan and their news service is supplied by NTL.
Completion is very good and retention is about 4 or 5 days which is often long enough to get what you want if you keep an eye out.
They carry about 50,000 groups which includes a lot of (but obviously not all) binary groups.
im currently with demon, its unlimited and unshaped atm, but not for long.
with their free upgrade to maxdsl (8mb) they are introducing a fair usage policy with a peak time cap. it will remain unthrottled/unshaped though.
their free usenet news service is rubbish. it lists the binaries, but wont actually let me download. constantly gives me the error "article not found" when trying to download.
if its adsl u want, go for this: http://broadband.nildram.net/products/broadband2/
if its cable, go with blueyonder, or be.
Uh j0hn be is not cable :P Its ADSL.
Anyway im with NTL 1 meg (cable). All their broadband speeds are completely unlimited and no throttling etc. Blueyonder is completely unlimited too.
