Ok guys so there are only two options, AOL and Pipex
Any comments on these two?
Ive used telewest for about 4 years. Have the 10mb service, IP rarely changes unless I force it at the router otherwise Ive had the same IP for over 12 months.. which suits me as I run some services from home like my CCTV.
Also they dont monitor bandwidth usage, I probs clock up 100GB + per month.
Had alittle spell couple months back when it was running slow during happy hour (7pm-10pm) ended up having a 2 hour telephone call with a tech who was telling me the in's and outs of broadband.. thats what happens when you phone up during grave yard shift and get the lonely tech
Also they must have decent firewalls/filters as I never use any AV apart from my router. Im no fan of software A/V as that stuff hogs resources.
