Vodafone Broadband - Thoughts?

[bensb93]

My Sky Broadband has gone up £5 a month and that's for the 75mb connection. I'm within the cooling off period, so have the ability to cancel and go elsewhere.

Noticed Vodafone are offering 500mb for the same price as what I am paying now. So I am now exploring that avenue.

Some things I noticed where....

- Sold as 500mb, but minimum of 250mb. I mean 250mb is plenty for me, but is it ever that low or are they just protecting themselves? Other ISPs tend to be much closer to the actual "Sold" speed.
- When I called Sky, before I even mentioned the V word, they slated them and stated their broadband drops out and "recaches" several times a day, which would be a nightmare for home workers. Any truth in this or typical sales clutching at straws?

Be interested to know the opinions of any Vodafone Broadband user's and whether they'd recommend or run a mile. If there are any other really competitively priced ISPs out there, feel free to mention them.

Thanks in advance.
