i'd recommend eclipse, ive been with them for 6 months and its round £17 month for their basic 512k service - this might sound slow but it is by far the speediest connection ive had (outdoing my bt 1mb one). You can boost that speed to 2mb a sec for around 5p an hour if you need to - great if you need to download some files quickly.

Xbox 360 live works a treat for me - not one bit of lag and all on a 512k connection!!

Hope this helps

ps forgot to mention there are NO download limits or throttling etc

sorry just can't get past euro1net.com offer double 512 speed (1.1meg) for £10 per month unlimited. Backup service is fantastic and I didn't subscribe for their support option but they phoned me on my mobile and stayed on for about half an hour while I checked out all my settings. really helpful guy even advised about virus protection etc.

only drawback is you pay up front.
I paid for 2 years 24 months to avoid £50 line setup.

I can recommend Plusnet.
No problems & very good customer service.

14.99 per month for unlimited 2mb speed, soon to be upgraded for free to 8mb (if your local exchange can take it).

You can check the enabled exchanges here http://www.newnet.co.uk/broadband/adslmax.php

You need to be no more than 2km from the exchange
