the max package for £10 per month doesnt have a download limit its unlimited downloads but you have to have a sky package already with them

toucansurf is also ****e.. thats who we're with. extremely unreliable, and the help desk are all khazakchikyoslovakaypanarapese based slaves.
its unlimited 2mbps though for £16.99!!!!!!! until you actually download something and then they restrict you with their "fair usage policy".
translated, it means "bull **** service provider, avoid at all costs"

ok mate yeh there are some bad providers but ive got the full sky package and sky are providing me with unlimited downloads at up to 16mbps for £10 a month on top of what it costs me for the sky package which makes it £52.50 per month where i was paying £24.99 per month for aol on its own so i thought id give it a try just wondering if anyone else had it up and running

I would recomend saving what you need, wipe the HD followed by a clean install of your OS.
Then when you get your new broadband you wont have any traces of that aol resource hog left, leaving you free to surf in peace;)

From what I've seen of AOL anything should be an improvement.
But back to the subject a Friend of mine has Sky BB and he aint had any trouble with it YET, it's restricted to a few areas a bit at the moment tho isn't it.
