Broadband - changing provider

looking at changing my BB provider to a cheaper alternative. Currently with talktalk, but given their pathetic service and the need to constantly call tech support - it aint all that cheap.

So ....... recommendations to go to - including phone (suppose save more money) if necessary. BUT before someone mentions them (though given they same as above i cant see it) i cant get NT(hel)L
No Longer works for MBNA as of August 2010 - redundancy money will be nice though.

no idea what my nerdnumber is - i am now officially nerd 229, no idea on my debt free date

    Hi Oscar, you will probably get more help if you posted this on the telephone board, one of its sub boards is internet access.

  • Whatever you do DON'T go with Bt total broadband. We've had non stop problems since we uprgaded on July and have been constantly fobbed off by their tech support and customer services. We've written 2 complaint letters and BOTH have been completely ignored.

    https://www.thinkbroadband.com is quite good. can compare ISPs and look in the forum for other suggestions.

    I am with Nildram, who are the same group as Pipex. Both have had a good reputation, but are going downhill slightly in recent months (accidently charged us £44.25 last month when it was supposed to be a month's free to stay with them!). Still decent ISPs on the whole though, but I'm sure there are better ISPs out there. Newnet were supposed to be good, although they just hiked their prices up :( Was going to switch to them. Don't know where to go now.
