I'm in the market for a new provider. I need:
Unlimited - None of this "fair useage" crap. I know most have it, and I can live with "highest 1% of users may be notified", but an unlimited plan with a predefined quota for "fair useage" is not unlimited.
Reliability/quality - If the internet connection drops more than once a month, I consider it unreliable.
Non-dickness - I was with pipex once. They decided to cap any connection that had a torrent running to between 20kbs and cutoff, without any warning*. I am not with pipex anymore.
Everything above is mandatory, everything else is optional. I will happily pay double to any provider that meets the above requirements vs one that misses one. Price is not (within reason) an issue. Anyone found a provider that likes to treat its gamer/downloader customers well? Oh yeah, adsl max only where I live, no cable/fiber/wimax.
*When this happened, took the forums a couple of weeks to figure it out, whilst pipex denied it was happening. Shit flew.
