I decided a few months ago that I wanted to move so cancelled my broadband, I was on sky and never had an issue with them when I was with them.

Since decided I'm staying where I am so now have no broadband!

I'm with EE for my mobile and was wondering if anyone is on them for broadband are they any good? or should I go back to sky?

As I will move to Wembley Park soon, may I know if there is any good ISP? Thanks!

Virgin Media is the single fastest provider with a nationwide presence.

There's a wide choice of providers offering fibre optic broadband over a regular phone line using the Openreach network, which is available to more homes. Average top speed: 74Mb.

However, Virgin Media speed can go up to gigafast Gig1 full fibre service, with speeds of 1130Mbps.

You can get varying speeds with Virgin. Depending on your usage, you may a lot for lower or higher speed

OP analysis this might help you. Most households don't need the fastest speeds and I would recommend a broadband speed checker for your area as coverage is variable. I have a very competitive bundle with Sky.

In April I switched from SKY Broadband (who I had been with for 8 years) to BRSK.
I had not had any issues with SKY dropouts but was paying over the odds for a slow service. I wanted to move away from the big players that people tend to get locked in to and end up paying over the odds for.
When BRSK became available in my area I did some research on Trust Pilot and with people I knew who had swapped across. I also rang their customer service centre which connected me quickly to a girl in Bradford who answered my questions quickly.
My main concern was that I could get out of the contract if I moved address and BRSK did not cover the new address. I got this in writing via email.
I switched across using a sign-up code that sent me a £75 voucher of being with BRSK after 28 days (received via email with no problem).
I chose my installation date. The engineer was polite, tidy and quick. He asked me where I wanted the connection to enter the house.
He made sure the service was operational before he left my property.
3 months in I am really pleased I made the switch from SKY.
I currently pay 23.00 per month for 100 MBS. I am really happy with the speed and I have had no dropouts in the 3 months.

If you wish to switch to BRSK please use this voucher code when you sign up and we will both receive a £75.00 Amazon voucher - YGS3.
