They're alright

Girlfriend gets 8MB, unlimited downloads, free landline calls and a wireless enabled box for £5 a month with her contract mobile.

With Sky Broadband 8mb £5 a month. Bit of a bare bones job though. No PHP, SQL etc. but if you don't mind that I have had no problems so far. Seamless changeover from Plusnet.

You do need to be a Sky TV subscriber though

Hi, I work in the industry, and hear all the horror stories, there a few that are known to be worse than others, Talk Talk, Tiscali and Sky. Needless to say, as equivilant as BT is supposed to be, if they're the same company as the suppliers, you don't go far wrong, but you do pay for the privilidge.

Oh, if it were up to me, I'd go for Telewest again, although, with Virgin due to launch on Thursday, it may get interesting.

P.s, why won't the spell check page work?! Sad

I use Virgin media (use to be NTL) £17.99 a month 2MG broadband, might not be the best deal around but I have never had any trouble with them. Been using them for the past 4years, used to be with BT and they were a bit useless (putting it in a nice way!)

Iv been with NTL for years.

Apart from the odd glitch, thety've been fine.

There was one period where I was without internet for 4 or 5 days. Even though they do not promise up time on residential packages. Theyve given me half price 2Mb broadband for 6 months for the inconvenience. Didnt even have to nag.

That's not bad service really...

Use BT myself, no problems and for 17.99 per month I get up to 4.4 meg, which upgrades at no extra cost when the network is upgraded.

Just to let you know, the 2mb broad band is now called BB:M just to confuse us all.

Sometimes we do it to stop customers going mental.

If you call up as soon as you stop receiving your service and tell them then they'll make a note in your account that you've called up. When the problem is fixed and you call up again you can receive loss of service credit.

I'm on Zen, £34 a month for 8meg. Not the cheapest by a long way but with that I get static ip's and customer service people who actually pick the phone up and know what your on about when you have an issue.

Have been with www.plus.com (or plus.net Confused) for ages without any problems. I'd recommend them. However, just been bought by BT so I expect soon the service will get shit and/or the prices will rise.

Also FWIW Force9 is the same company as Plus (one bought the other earlier) so now also owned by BT.

HTH Thumbs Up
