Page 1 of Recommend an ISP?

Hi Folks,

can anyone recomended me an ISP for ADSL?

I`ve been with toucan for the last year who were bloody awful and managed to disconnect us from ADSL when they changed the account from my flatmate`s name into my name. genius.
they tell me it`ll take 10 working days to close my account and 10 working days to reconnect so they can shove that idea up their @rse.

So, I need to find a new ISP.

Round our way, it seems the fastest our exchange can handle at the moment is 8mb so there`s no point in going for anything quicker at the moment and basically I want an ISP who wont downgrade us during peak hours just because I happen to download a few files.
So, no downloading cap or "Fair usage policy" would be nice.

cheers,

Martin

I`ve heard Entanet are supposed to be really good.

If you could live with the fair use policy on cable, and your street is done, then go for that. It`s *not* as good as before NTL got their grubby hands all over it, but I`m still very happy overall. On 20Mb the fair use policy means if you download more than 3GB between 4pm and midnight your speed drops to 5Mb. It`s "unlimited" in that overall there`s no limit other than the theoretical maximum you can download and no extra charges.

I`d love to go back to using cable broadband, it`s what i`ve always used in the past before now but i`m living in a rented house the landlady is a bit anal about us doing anything in it.

hence, I`m stuck with ADSL...

I`ve heard Entanet are supposed to be really good.. Yes they are, they work through resellers who all seem to offer similar deals. I switched to Vivaciti some months ago, after many years with Eclipse. Very pleased with the product and service.

I`d second Entanet.

Recently moved house and plumped for ADSL24, one of Entanet`s resellers, and am very happy so far. I`m on their Home30 package, which is 30GB limit during peak hours, and 300GB limit during off-peak (that`s 22:00 - 08:00 IIRC), for £20/month. Very useful for those big "scheduled downloads", if you catch my drift. On the downside the activation fee is BT `full-whack`, i.e £52, but OTOH contract length is only one month. This suited me down to the ground ;)

Also, ADSL24`s customer support is meant to be very good (UK-based, knowledgeable IT guys, etc), although I`ve had no reason to make use of them yet.

Good luck, whatever your choice!
