Yeah, good one... :rotfl:

I'll put up with my BT line and ADSL, only 512kbps out here in the sticks... still beats dial up.

Thanks for all the suggestions, but I'll be sticking with ADSL as well for the time being. I'd need the service to be pretty reliable as well - it'll be used for a business.

Any more suggestions welcome!

Thanks,

I have joined e7even and you get a free static IP

They have yearly packages but atm (as they are normally) you sign up for a 512 package and you get double speed for free


I got 1mb for £170 for the year.

I've got 4Mb at £300 for 2 years - the only problem I've had was a one day outtage (probably caused by BT) for which they gave me an extra week, and not warning me before the LLU upgrade - otherwise, great! You can't argue with that kind of value for money!

Hi there,

If you are going to stick with ADSL, my recommendation would be Bulldog....
(I can here the loud sucking in of air coming from the back rows!!!)

Over the past year or so Bulldogdsl have had some really bad press. However I have been with them at my Dad's place for the past 2 - 3 years, I have only ever had issues with them based on problems by BT (eg a person putting in a new street lamp chopped through all the cables with a digger! Guaranteed to cause downtime really!)

Their service has never had any problems. I run a small webserver/mailserver and they provide static IP.

I do know however that many people have had major issues with Bulldogdsl especially in their transition over to Cable and Wireless (they still provide adsl over standard bt lines!).

I don't think they are the cheapest any more, however they have been reliable for me.

I hope this helps.

Euro1net offer a static IP address, uncapped service & speeds of 512Mb (automatically upgraded to 1Mb at the moment, where your line permits), 1Mb or 2Mb. They waive the connection fee for people migrating or signing up for a 2 year package of 1Mb or 2Mb. Despite the double speed offer, it can actually work out cheaper overall to go for the 1Mb option at £13.99pm if you're migrating.

E7even charge £13pm for their 1Mb service & a £30 connection fee whether migrating or new to ADSL, so despite their reputation of bargain broadband, they're actually slightly dearer.

There's not many posts on here about Euro1net - a couple of people posted that they'd signed up around March, but no follow up to say how it's going

Looking on https://www.adslguide.org.uk, Euro1net consistently comes in above E7even for speed, reliablity and customer service. I also compared it to Metronet and Zen and it wasn't significantly lower on any score.

I checked https://www.ispreview.co.uk & found 2 positive reviews and no record of any complaints. The only comment in their comparison chart was "Too cheap?" - not much of a criticism in my book

I can't tell you what they're like yet I'm afraid as I've only just signed up myself & still waiting for connection. The only catch appears to be that it's a pay up front service, & no-one can predict future speeds/prices.

If you decide to go with them & feel inclined to use a referral code mine is 197904.
