Whats the best 512 Broadband

I live in a village with no cable and a maximum of 512 broadband. Whilst searching I've found that all the offer prices for most are for faster speeds and actually charge more for us slower ones.
So, who's cheapest and who's got the best service level (even if they are different!)?

If you want a 1 month contract and don't mind paying for activation in return (and buying your own modem but I got one off ebay for £10), try adsl4less @ £14.99 per month. They are resellers of Hotchilli Internet (but charge less than Hotchilli themselves). I use it at work and my father has it at home. A colleague also uses it at home after getting good reports on it from various businesses. We're all very pleased with it. They let you use their smtp server for your existing email addresses which some other providers don't allow.
I'm sure you can get free activation/free modem elsewhere for a slightly higher monthly price and/or capped service and/or longer contract but I don't have one to recommend.0 -
similar to santana's reply, have also used adsl4less now for just under a year with no problems.My website has lots of info and photos from various Greek and Canary Islands esp. about walking. My profile has the site address cos not allowed to put it here.0
