Broadand, who's the cheapest

AlexC_3

As someone who is new to broadband and just wants to surf the net - not looking to download music etc, ie not a heavy user. I want a provider who will offer me good service and still be around in a years time... who should I go for, Tiscali or Madasafish ? - would wellcome any replys about service etc especially about Madasafish.

Thanks to all.

If your local exchange is LLU enabled you may be able to get 1mb BB from £9-99 a month.

Have a look at www.samknows.com to see what your exchange supports

SamKnows is way out of date now, as it hasn't been updated. People are better off using LLU ISP's own checkers now. See this post for links to them all.

If you want a good reliable service then don't even consider Tiscali, one of the worst isp around.

Do not even consider Wanadoo.

We rely on internet contact with friends and family abroad. Our 18 year old is at university in the USA.

My home broadband connection failed in December so I rang Wanadoo and was promised reconnection by Christmas Eve. By January we were still disconnected. Wanadoo blamed BT. I made over 40 national rate phone calls before Customer Services in India admitted it was Wanadoo's problem all along and that they had done nothing to correct it. I cancelled my subscription.

However the problems continued when I tried to sign up to a new ISP. Wanadoo refused to give me a MAC code to transfer to another provider and for over a month now they have blocked my BT line so no other broadband supplier can use it.

Wanadoo also sent me a Hotmail message asking me why I was cancelling. I completed the online form and sent it back via the holink on the form. Surprise, surprise - it bounced back with "No such address"!

Wanadoo have dsiplayed corporate incompetence, malice and mendacity, and I would advise anybody to avoid them like the plague. I have of course made a formal complaint to Ofcom.
