Guys/ Gals

OB, I have to say Pipex. They've served me well over many years and without any significant downtime at all. Started with their dialup and then 64K ISDN way back and been with them ever since. Your mileage may well vary!

Cheers Azooza

I'll give them a look see

Anybody else? What are virgin and orange like?

If you haven't looked there already, I recommend:

thinkbroadband: The UK's largest independent ADSL review site - Your guide to UK broadband Internet.

(formerly adslguide)

for feedback on broadband ISPs.

PM'd you a recommendation too.

I find Eclipse very good.

On the rare occassion i've needed to speak to support, their customer service was top notch.

richardys · 02-12-2006, 08:10:50 PM

Nildram, I use them at work and at home,

Nildram UK - Internet service provider offering upto 8Mb Broadband ADSL

aZooZa · 02-12-2006, 08:22:05 PM

As if in a of vote of recommendation, I used to employ the founders of Nildram & Eclipse back in the 80's. Mention my name. You're assured to get charged accordingly.

Agreed - would also agree at having a look at adslguide

I recommend Griffin:

Griffin Internet | Products & Services > Home Worker > Internet Access > Broadband

For this reason:

Quote:

Up to 500/1000/2000/8000Kbit/s download speeds

Minimum throughput 20% of rated bandwidth (up to 2000Kbit/s)
Reverse DNS entries
1/4/8 static IP addresses
No port blocking or traffic shaping
No proxy servers
Dedicated account management
Dedicated technical support

Also i'm only 7 hops from even acorndomains:

Quote:

C:\>tracert acorndomains.co.uk

Tracing route to acorndomains.co.uk [85.92.71.241]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 18 ms 1 ms 1 ms 192.168.0.1
2 44 ms 31 ms 30 ms l2gw-2.managedbroadband.co.uk [82.151.255.117]
3 49 ms 31 ms 30 ms core1.tchx.lon.uk.griffin.com [217.79.96.1]

Trace complete.

C:\>

Also they may do you a higher package for the same amount e.g. CopperStream Homeworker 1000 for the price of 500 if you say I referred you
