AOL broadband

If you believe that experience paves way for excellence, then AOL broadband is the one for you. In the market for over 10 years, AOL broadband has currently 1.7 million customers to its credit.

AOL broadband is a happy marriage of innovation and experience, and has several packages that you can choose from. AOL Broadband was apparently the first ISP that included a wireless router with all of its broadband packages and according to AOL, they have over 750,000 customers who have been supplied with wireless routers. Starting off with the packages it has to offer, AOL broadband UK has a wireless broadband deal that comes with a wireless router with a download speed of up to 8Mbps, ( ‘depending on line and location’ ) and a 10GB usage allowance.

Then there’s the Wireless Flexi broadband deal, which you can supposedly cancel any time without incurring penalties. This package has download speeds and usage allowance that are similar to that of AOL wireless broadband, and ofcourse, there is a wireless router included. AOL broadband UK also has a few low price broadband packages that start from just £4.99 a month. Furthermore, AOL broadband has a ‘great-value broadband’ range, namely the Platinum range. This range promises great value for money and comes in packages with 8Mbps download speed and 10GB monthly usage allowance (Platinum 1), 8Mbps download speed and 50GB monthly usage allowance (Platinum 2) and Platinum 3 with unlimited monthly usage allowance 24Mbps download speed.

AOL Broadband is extremely easy to install, you can start trotting across the internet in a jiffy. It provides an easy-install pack that includes a CD that guides you step-by-step while installing the wireless router. The AOL Broadband installation software is also there to give you a hand at this. On its downside, AOL Broadband has not earned a good reputation for customer service. There are several customers known to have branded its service ‘awful’, ‘appalling’ and ‘disappointing’.

Virgin broadband

Being the only internet service provider in the UK providing a 50Mb service, Virgin broadband does have a lot to offer that could make it the perfect ISP that we desire. To begin with, Virgin Media delivers broadband through optical fibres that are made of glass which can supposedly send information ‘at the speed of light’. It is optical fibers that Virgin Media attributes for their ability to provide speeds of upto 50Mb. According to Virgin Media, optical fibres are future proof, so you wouldn’t find yourself in a fix when the internet changes, for their network has been designed with the future in mind.

The good news with Virgin broadband UK is that it is not connected to the phone network, so you have the option of going for the broadband deal alone, which indeed is easy on your purse. But if you’d rather go for a phone and broadband package, Virgin broadband UK has that too. Virgin broadband is fast, having a few prestigious awards and over 400,000 speed tests to back it. It has an average download speed of about 8.15Mb, which is pretty impressive. The packages from Virgin broadband UK include up to 10Mp, 20Mp and 50Mp packages, all of which come with unlimited weekend UK landline calls.

Now, coming to the superfast 50Mp package, it must be said that it works like a dream. You can download a 60MB track in just over 10 seconds, a video game in less than 2 minutes and download a full HD movie in just 45 minutes when you have to spend almost a whole day to do so with most broadband packages.

Live streaming is fast as ever, with no visible buffering. What’s more, you also get the bonus of unllimited broadband download limit. (Conditions apply, ofcourse!) Whether you are a hard-core gamer, an online entertainment buff, or just an impatient user of the internet, Virgin broadband’s up to 50Mb service is the answer.
