I've just won my case against BT through the Ombudsman for Communications. I should be able to leave unpenalised within the next month or so. Im wary of making a bad choice after dealing with the total incompetence shown to me by BT and was wondering (if such a thing exists) which internet service provider is known to be rated best by customers? Im looking fr unlimited broadband and live in a city so have access to most ISPs.

Anyone any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

    As others will tell you, Andrews & Arnold and Zen are considered by many to be the best. Of course, they are not the cheapest by quite a long way.

    You checked google for the lovemoney link on best and worst for broadband providers ?

    I'm with Virgin Media and its great, no issues other than the very rare issue where there's no internet but its quickly fixed.

    I have had A&A (aaisp) since 2000 and they are good but not aimed at people who want cheap - i pay £50 per month for 1000GB FTTC plus £10 per month for line rental (transfer speed is 80mb/s down and 20mb/s up) - they also do 300GB FTTC for £45 and a 200GB service for £35

    Andrews and Arnold are the best. Got to ISPreview and click on "top 10" and see which ISP is top ;)

    I have used them since 2003 (never "switched") and recommend them.

    I am in the process of looking for a new ISP at the moment and had never heard of ISPreview .

    It will be a great help.

    A&A, Zen and Aquiss from my own experience.

    Aquiss are my current provider. I'm sure there are more, but the best has to be quantifiable and sit with the right +ve's for you.

    I like Aquiss because speed is always great, support has been amazing for some tech bits I have needed and their billing system is easy to work with.

    Oh, also I have true unlimited GB's, which with a house full of near teenagers, Prime, and tablets is really a must.
