    Any one still with Lightnet thinking about going with them would appreciate an update on what they are like?

    with them nearly 3 years, miles better than my previous isp but im restricted to only two where I live which is about 3 miles from you


    I think they are pretty good and when there are problems they are always quick to return your calls and let you know when things are good again
    pricing is a bit steep and you wouldnt want to be downloading boxsets or the likes
    i have 3mb/1mb up and it tends to me 2-2.5mb most of the time sadly and in the past couple of months it hasnt been great overall

    am thinking of upgrading to 5mb for 45pm and this is the max I can get where I live but that also means an 18 month contract which is plain ridiculous but at the rate broadband rollout is progressing it'll probably be 10 years before I see decent speeds

    I recently upgraded but they only tied me in for another 3 months, might be a deal for existing customers.

    you really cant win living in a rural area

    am on 3mb which is unlimited
    was about to move to 5mb today but didnt realise there was an 80gb cap on it
    went through my data month by month and most was 102gb in march and generally its between 80-90gb
    they want an extra fiver for and extra 50gb
    whilst I probably need the extra speed it I really feel like they are screwing folks which is easy when there aren't any other viable options i suppose

    worth keeping in mind for anyone thinking of joining up

    aye, have expressed a similar opinion in this other thread

    They really are taking the p1ss with this new 80GB cap. Dont forget they can also subject your cap to their "fair" use policy.
