Top 10 Unlimited Broadband Deals

Unlimited broadband explained

Unlimited broadband gives that bit more flexibility to heavy broadband users. If you're sick of being restricted by your download limit every month, it's a great idea to consider the "Unlimited" broadband deals listed above.

Sales of PS3s, Xbox 360s, Nintendo Wiis as well as laptops and iPads have skyrocketed in the past few years. And as these devices are increasingly being used to connect to the Internet, many households are hitting and exceeding their download limits on a monthly basis. If you're among them, an unlimited broadband deal could be just the ticket.

Unlimited broadband suits:

• Gaming broadband users, especially those playing MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) such as the very popular World of Warcraft.
• Family broadband users with multiple broadband-enabled devices such as PCs, laptops and gaming consoles.
• Heavy film and music downloaders - especially peer-to-peer enthusiasts.

Unlimited broadband and fair usage policies

As you may have already suspected, unlimited broadband is not always completely "unlimited". If you’re on an ADSL line then you share your Internet connection with the people around you and there is a finite limit to the amount of information that ADSL lines can transmit. For this reason, ISPs try to make sure that "super-users" don't unfairly slow down the connection for others by subjecting users to "Fair Usage Policies".

Fair usages policies are your ISP's way of trying to manage cyber-traffic fairly and work by limiting the speed of your connection during peak times. For more information on FUPs read our Fair Usage Policy Guide.
