Virgin Media (www.VirginMedia.com) delivers the UK's fastest broadband speeds according to an Ofcom report published earlier in the year. Fibre optic broadband also achieves consistent speeds, regardless of how far you live away from your local phone exchange. However, Virgin Media's fibre optic network isn't available everywhere. Visit www.VirginMedia.com to check coverage and availability for your postcode.
Virgin Media's broadband deals also come with unlimited downloads. Other Internet providers, such as BT Broadband (www.BT.com), Tiscali (now TalkTalk) and O2 (www.O2.co.uk) also offer unlimited download allowances across a selection of packages, at all times of the day or in the early hours of the day. Remember to check the small print for fair use policies and downloads limits.
Every year, Broadbandchoices asks thousands of customers to rate their ISP across 6 categories, including value for money. Sky Broadband and Plusnet have won the top spot in recent years:
