Default Looking for a new UK ISP?

I'm currently on Tiscali and to be honest, they are shocking. I'm looking for a new ISP who will do 8mb line. i don't want to pay over £20/month and i don't want download fees.

Is this possible?

Only way to do it is to see which ISP's are available in your area and see which ones offer the best package. Not all ISP's are available everywhere unfortunately

Anyone with Virgin?
Are they good?

The only real unlimited choices in my area (in the middle no where) are Virgin and Tiscali.

I have heard many many bad things about Virgin. Unfortunately I don't know h9ow you can find out the local ISP's. But many will tell you to stay away from Virgin.

Are Tiscali that bad!?
