Yvonne £24 a month for 2mb is ridiculous! I'm paying £26 for phone & broadband with 8mbps.
Sky are reportedly offering 20mb for £20 with TV & phone - though I wouldn't use them if you paid me - they dont even send out wireless n capable routers they still use g! Virgin I believe offer up to 50mbps and BT offer different rates too - you will have to look on their websites to see what they offer. I'm with Talk Talk and really would not recommend anyone uses them as they really do not like talking to their users over the phone and prefer you to communicate with machines as much as possible - I know of at least 3 people who now have no phone service whatsoever because they totally screwed it all up - personally I am thinking of going back to BT - they own the cables - tech support is pretty good with them doing remote access if needed - and if there is a problem its their engineers that sort it out - if any other ISP using the BT network has a problem the ISp has to contact BT and then the wait starts because Talk Talk do not inform what is happening - not even when the BT engineer is going to visit even though they know because they've arranged the visit!

You get unlimited downloads, but your download speed is 2mb whereas mine is near on 8mb.
