Monthly cost - £24
Sky Package - Connect
Speed - 7 Mb/s MOVED HOUSE AS WELL THOUGH!
Quality of service compared to previous - Same

I moved so the speeds are not comparable, previous exchange did not have Sky. The only advantage of my previous ISP was that I had a fixed IP.

Sky Package - Max

Quality of service - Better

[doobrain]

ISP - ntlworld
Speed - 0.5 MB
Monthly cost - £25 including free anytime calls
Sky Package - Max (only because I don't want to bother with DL limits)
Speed - 1.9 MB
Quality of service compared to previous - Better

BT have always told me my line is only capable of 0.5 MB. My speed with sky is almost 4 times this (and it's rock solid too).

As someone who was told that they were too far from the exchange to receive ADSL when it was first introduced (> 63db attenuation), I am very pleased with this.
