Blueyonder Boradband is quite good.

Its relieable and never had a problem with customer support when you need them.

Yeah it takes like 2 hours to get through to them on the phone but overall the service is quite good.

sounds good. i'll check em out. but bt is terrible its really really bad. so slow and expensive as well. my gf has telewest and thats pretty cool but thats the whole television package and i just want an isp. thanks man!

Pipex are also good.

If you're having speed issues it's unlikely to be the ISP at fault though...

we have plusnet and it is £14.99 a month for up to 8 meg broadband with 4gb d/load limit in peak time and up to 50gb limit non peak.

it is a pretty good deal

I'd say orange, i never used to think of them as any good, although after using other peoples tiscali connections that were "2.3 meg" and getting download dpeeds equivalent to that of just 0.5 meg i was rather unimpressed, when on my 1 meg (soon to be 2.5

) connection i always get the full speed, 120 kb/sec it only drops if downloading from a slow server. They have an unlimited package for £19.99 I think, although it is more expensive than tiscali etc. i would say it is definately worth it because of the quality of the connection

Also if you have a mobile contract with orange above a certain amount you get it free, and they give you a wireless router
