Best ISP

Options
Having lots of problems with NTL. Intermittent service. After six months of complaining someone is supposed to be coming to cheeck out my set top box today. I'm seriously thinking of sacking NTL. However, I notice that people are having problems with other companies such as Tiscali. Can anyone recommend a good ISP provider?
Thanks and a Merry Christmas to all at MSE

    Zen are probably the top ISP for broadband in the UK at the moment. Check the comparison table at https://www.adslguide.org.uk they are not beaten by any other company in any of the categories (speed, reliability, and customer service). They have also just won the ISP of the year at PCPro for the second year on the trot.

    They offer. One month minimum contract, no limits (at all), no traffic shaping (at all), up to 8 static IP addresses for free, 1GB of web space for free. They also run their own newsgroups which you can access free as part of the package.

    This company is not the cheapest broadband supplier, but for anyone that wants absolute hassle free broadband, good service, and no limits at all no matter what you download. You wont go wrong with this company.

    I have setup Wanadoo Broadband for many people in the past and have never had a problem with the connection or speed.

    If you visit ADSL Guide's Compare page, you can pick which ISPs to compare and it shows you how they rate for Speed, Reliability and Customer Service. This information has been collected from customers of that ISP. It would be highly useful for choosing between a shortlist of providers. tigermatt :)

    No point debating best ISP here as https://www.adslguide.org does all that! However it may be worth comparing ISP such as Zen and F2S.
    2 heads are better than 1….unless they are on the same body!
