    NewNet is excellent and VERY competitively priced.
    I've been with them since the beginning of the year and have found them to be very reliable. Their customer service is also first class.

    Party_Animal,

    I have moved your thread to the "Internet Access" board. I hope this is ok.

  • Cheers Fran and thanks to all for your help. The NTL man came today to check out set top box. There was a loose cable which was why it kept going off. OK at the moment, I'll see how it goes. How did we manage before we had internet?. I'm planning my hols on line. I've got my recipes online, got pressies, online, checked the train times as well as wishing friends all over the world Merry Xmas.
    And Merry Xmas to all at MSE

    Been a happy blueyonder customer for 8 years (before they became blueyonder, even)
  • I am with www.freedom2surf.net and have a 2.2Mbit connection for £19.99 a month and 10 GB limit. But between 1am and 6am its unlimited. So you can download for free between these times.
    I have never had any problems. I am very happy with the service.

    They now do 8Mbit for £14.99 if your line will take it.
  • Am currently surfing on my Be* wireless connection and am showing a speed of 36 Mbs !!! Its 24/month which includes the wireless router.

    They had me up and running within ten days of online application. Cant knock em.

    Cheers

    The speed you've quoted is impossible. There is not one single ISP in the UK offering these kind of speeds yet (including Be*). The fastest service out there (and what Be* is offering also) is up to 24Mbps. The average internet speeds with these type of services comes in around 15Mb/18Mb, this type of service is also VERY dependent on the distance to he exchange.

    I would say the speed you are seeing is your wireless network speed (certainly not your internet speed). This would be far more feasable.
