Yeah, though I would recommend not suggesting that to some ISPs - they just might take up the idea.
 Surprisingly for many ex-PN customers here, PlusNet have been (mostly) behaving themselves in the last 12 months (the BT takeover may have had lots to do with that even though I'm sure denials would surface). They're not the value proposition they used to be though. |

I'm hearing nothing but good things about Entanet resellers such UKFSN and ADSL24

Be and Zen have the reputation at the moment amongst the industry for home users. BTs exorbitant pricing of DSL uplinks mean most of us are doing traffic shaping. DSL services are close to the bone profit wise as it is, if we have to buy another uplink it'll hit massive loss level.

ISP wise if they can go cable, go cable. Vigin/Blueyonder/Cableinet (whatever they want to call themselves) have ALWAYS been excellent, uncapped, reliable, and fast (none of this exchange distance lark). Pricing is similar or cheaper (if they use them for TV and phone too)...

I've been with Virgin for years and never had a problem with them, the only major downside nowadays is if you download x mb a day they cut your connection in half
and since I'm on 4mb as soon as I hit 700mb download between 4pm and midnight my speed drops to 2mb

I was very worried when moving to my current house as it doesn't have cable. Traditionally I always had issues with all the ADSL connections i've had in the past. Bulldog (when they were good), Zen (same), Eclipse (same). Now I checked out the raving reviews about entanet. Sure they throttle in the evenings, but not back to the stoneage. If your pipe is congested, you drop to 2mb, otherwise its 4mb (or higher if you are adsl2 at the exchange). You have 30gb peak and 300gb off peak which is not easy to use up! Web pages load quickly, good pings and full speed downloads when not 8-12pm. One thing is get a decent adsl router. Again I got a Draytek and i'm impressed with that. There was a noticeable difference between that and a Netgear one I have knocking about. |
