RE: Which unlimited broadband?

Can you post a link to that "obscure page" please?
I am on unlimited O2 on a rural Isle of Wight
exchange with only 400 subscribers.  O2, Orange,
TalkTalk  and maybe others resell BT "service".
Ranges between 5400kb/s and 50kb/s. I have been
using the Jack Dinn speed check since Mark
mentioned it before Christmas. Weekends are worst
(unsurprisingly). When reselling BT (ie no
unbundling) does the contention ratio change from
seller to seller. Planning to complain to
O2...Sonos stops and VOIP is hopeless, but
question is can anyone else do better. Option of
a "business connection" ie no contention is an
expensive alternative. Any thoughts?
