UK ISPs

[VCDHunter]

After seeing the advert for Wannadoo broadband (unlimited 1mb broadband for £17.99 a month) I thought its time I got back on the net at home. I've just checked out the website and the 1mb connection at £17.99 a month is far from unlimited, infact its capped at 2Gb a month ! So with this in mind I thought I'd ask the good (UK) folks here at VCDHelp for their suggestions on UK ISPs. I'd also like to note that these have to be ADSL as I ain't cable enabled.

I used eclipse internet (west yorkshire, uk here!) ...
30 odd quid for UNCAPPED 1MB ADSL
GREAT customer service and excellent customer reviews etc

www.adslguide.org.uk

Good luck!

People who dont know any better

I know Japanese that think AOL is the biggest thing to hit Tokyo; after Godzilla. "THEY SO STU-PID!"

AOL is an embarassment and should have "AMERICA" removed from their title. I will say they were a large cause of people connecting to the internet during the late 90's. After 2000, people got smarter. I hear AOL is growing fast in South Africa. Are you a SAOL BROTHER?

They should have the on-line dropped from the name as well.

I second Craig's suggestion for Pipex.

They provide a fast, reliable, no-nonsense no-frills service.

How about (DICS) Disconnecting Internet Computer Service?

Craig is right, I've had pipex for about threes years and its been fantastic. 24 quid, unlimited downloads. Their newsgroups aren't the best, but none of us goes there

You might want to consider Claranet or Demon.

Under no circumstances go to NTL, AOL or TISCALI.

PS, if you go for pipex, say I sent you, I get free holiday vouchers!

I am also a Pipex fan, been with them for just over three years. I have just upgraded to their 2mb service.

Excellent customer service and I think it has only ever gone down on me once.

AND THE MISSUS

[badger_fruit]

Have you checked out the www.adslguide.org.uk yet? (Just wonderin)

The best providers I would say are
Eclipse, Pipex and Nildram

Although at the moment, Zen Internet are pi**ing all over all of these in Speed, reliability and customer service!

[VCDHunter]

I'd say I'll be going for Pipex. I shall try and order it tomorrow.

Good choice,

www.Pipex.net if you did not already know.

Thanks, I have to wait to find out if the phone has been connected.

I should be able to use my existing wireless modem/router with this yes ?

[Hardcoreruss]

Have you just moved or something?

[VCDHunter]

Yeah about 3 months ago but I only just got round to sorting the phone yesterday.

[Hardcoreruss]

So you have had no net access from home?

[VCDHunter]

I have no net or phone access at home.

How do you survive?

[Craig Tucker]

Bummer, I don't think I could have lasted for 3 months without.

[VCDHunter]

How do you survive?

I have struggled to be honest. I'm on during work hours but I haven't been able to MSN any of my mates abroad, can't play any online games, when I'm stuck with someting video related I can't turn to here for help and I've not seen a new pr0n film for ages

Actually I've coped rather well. I know get home and plan my evenings around what shit is on the TV. **** I need to get back online . . . . .

[Craig Tucker]

My main struggle would be no online banking and the ability to research future purchases.
