Will they let you have Cable?  Telewest are doing the 3 for Ã,£15 student deal again.  for Ã,£15 during term you get TV, 2Mb Broadband, and a phone with free weekend calls.  I think they can tweak that a littlem, but you can also opt ot only pay Ã,£5 a month during summer if you are planning on being in the same place fo r2 years.

knowing a good few folks who work there im refusing to recommend them to people.  Makes me giggle when people complain about the length of time they take to provision a service.  When its free dont complain if it sucks.

I was just being restrained on my verdict, two months solid 2mbits sec on a BT line.

Nice statement from them "up to 8mbits"...

TBH as I dont download that much stuff it works perfectly adequately and twice as fast as the old pipex connection for less. And my phonecalls/bill is thrown in too.

Providing they keep up the service Ill be pretty happy to leave it with them.

you can add ADSL2+ onto your sky for a tenner a month. I know Im going to when I move house, as the 30 notes a month Im paying zen for a 1Mb connection is appalling.
