    I have had it for approx 2 weeks now (live in Darfield) .... i pay the £10.00 to have the unlimited...working great for me, no problems to report..... and by the way it is certainly faster than the Pipex connection i had previously.

    Not 100% sure of the speed cos it is linked via a wireless modem and through a network cable so not giving me a speed... Have run a couple of speed checks and appear to be getting approx 2mb, and unlimited download

    By the way - it can be upto 16mb speed, but cos exchange is in Wombwell, it is a bit far away......used to live 200 yards from Exchange in Wombwell, so if was still there would have had a brilliant connection, then again i would still have been with Blueyonder via cable.....
