this is obviously aimed at guys living in the UK. so can anyone tell me which ISP should i go for. Looking for fast speeds and no shitty p2p traffic management like BT. Also how lax are uk isp's when it comes to torrenting, especially for those living a pirate's life ? or should i stick with a VPN for that matter? on that note, lemme know some good VPN providers that don't log as well if that is necessary

cheerio

Virgin Media offers fast broadband (on most occasions). Be sure to read the small print though; they have been in trouble for false promises before.

Using a VPN is necessary if you wish to torrent. A list of good VPN providers can be found at http://torrentfreak.com/which-vpn-providers-really-take-anonymity-seriously-111007/?.

I have been with Virgin Media since they were called Telewest - great service, fast and reliable but it comes down to your area

only one ISP that gives a decent speed ( BETHERE )

virgin is cable but you have to take tv / phone package to make the price worth while.

Try adsl24, you should try to get fibre if you can afford it.
