    You will get mixed views/reviews on here so I will start you off by saying we are very pleased by Tiscali's broadband.

    I'm very happy with pipex!
  • absolutely superb, and at £17.97pm (or £14.97 if you use their landline service!!) its a steal, its totaly uncapped and 512k (but it uses shared exchange and many get speeds up to 2Mb!)
  • You can still remain with ntl

    When I moved to the lurgan Exchange a year ago, I was told I would have to wait until someone in the area left ADSL before I could get it. And there was a waiting list and I was at the bottom of it!!!

    Got connected 7 days later :)

    Been with Pipex a year, £23.44 a mo 1MEG uncapped, free modem & activation. They have started to limit users who download lots during peak hours. Migrated to freedom2surf 2 weeks ago. Better speeds it 2Meg Uncapped (really) @ £25 a month, 1 month contract so I can leave anytime.

    Im a heavy user, if your not there is a lot cheaper and slower out there.
    Always do the ADSLguide comparsion with a provider, compare it to a few good ones like Pipex & Plusnet & Freedom2surf and AOL for a laugh. Then on the adslguide site go to the * message board * scroll down to the provider your going to go with, and within 10 seconds you will know if is good bad or ugly. I was going to go with Plusnet until I read the message board on Adslguide. Basiaclly leave within 5 YEARS!! and there is a charge for the 'free' modem and 'free' activation not to mention the speed problems some people are having.

    Cheapest and not too nasty seems to be e7even.com 1 Meg 'unlimited?' for £10 a month. But you have to pay in advance, I would use a Credit card incase they go bust, then you can get your money back. And you have to sign up for 2 years to get free activation. Even if you could'nt afford £240 upfront, stick it on your CCard and pay tenner + intrest each month and it will work out cheaper than most ripp off providers. Adsl modems go for about £5 on eBay if you need one.
