    Hi all

    Been a while since I've posted!

    I'm moving house soon and haven't had to set-up broadband before and wondered if anyone has any recommendations? FYI I'm not able to get fibre optic except via BT who only offer 18 month contracts which rules them out. Here's what I'm after:

    12 month contract
    Unlimited usage
    Consistant speed (from looking at various provider sites my estimated speed is 14Mb although I am aware this is not definitive and cannot be guaranteed)
    Preferably decent customer service

    The cost isn't a major factor as I'm looking for quality but obviously the cheaper the better. I know my cheapest options are O2 or Sky but I've heard bad things and Be Broadband have been suggested by some friends but I've heard that recently they've been sliding a bit.

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

    Posting your zip or general area would help?
