Page 1 of Anyone recommend me an ISP?

Currently using 2Mb unlimited Tiscali broadband for (I think) £17.99 a month, up in Aberdeen.

Ideally what I`m looking for is a provider that`ll give me an optimum download rate using torrents etc as it seems surprisingly slow (around 20 - 30Kb/s on a good day) and has a worrying tendency to drop to 0Kb/s at times while still staying connected.

I know Tiscali don`t have a great reputation so for a decent price can anyone recommend a good replacement?

I`m on Tiscali 512 unlimited (out near Peterhead ;) ), and I usually get a top end download speed of about 55 Kb/s.

They`ve got a pretty bad reputation as an ISP for torrent users, but I`ve had no problems. Well, except I`m still on 512 despite new customers in the area getting 2MB, with no option to upgrade online.

Are you sure your problems don`t lie with the seeder/leecher ratio of the torrents? (Apologies if that sounds like a response you`d give a "n00b"...)

NDO for 5mb monthly @ £19.99. Excellent speeds no restrictions/throttling, good customer service

or

Nildram 50gb monthly @ £25.99 solid reliable fast service no restrictions/throttling excellent customer service.

What about UKOnline? I`ve got 2mb unlimited for £14.99 per month.

Their LLU seems ok but their regular service seems a bit iffy.

If you changed your isp, avoid Pipex like the plague. I use BT (Its worth the extra cash) Aol is really good.

YEAH I would recommend BT BROADBAND good sevice and winner 2005 in the PCW reviews.

I`ve been with Pipex more than 3 years never had a single problem with them. AOL is fine if you can connect ok, if you have problems forget it they don`t want to know. They`ll try to get you to use their bundled software too - avoid at all costs.
