    Hi
    Its not the cheapest you should be looking for but the ones that give you what you pay for, if you want cheap look no further than Tiscali, but I guarantee you, you won't be happy with their service or support, which is the Pits :eek:

    Search forums to give you accurate feelings on which provider is doing what, and more importantly who is giving customer satisfaction.

    Hope this hleps

    1899 have connection from Telewest so that would resolve the call cost issue...

    PlusNet is an award winning broadband provider. I’ve been with them for around two years and was recommended by a friend and never looked back.

    Superb service.

    They charge £14.99/month for up to 2mb download however this is being upgraded for FREE to up to 8mb download where BT exchanges allow it from April 2006. There is no limit to how much you download per month so fantastic value for money. Not only that but you can register for plus talk FREE which gives FREE Internet calls to other subscribers (Thought you’d like that bit – FREE I remind you)





    Enjoy Saving

    Martin, Madasafish are oowned by this company: http://www.brightview.com/our_isps/index.html some of their other brands are cheaper than madasafish...

    IC24 is currently £9.99 for 6 months then £16.99 the next 6 months for an identical service. http://www.ic24.net/services/broadband/

    The prices and offers seem to change quite a lot though.

    Hi Cougar

    IC24 was included in the research and it didn't beat Madasafish at the time. I've just had another look. IC24's current offer (as I'm writing this) is £9.99 a month for 3 months then £16.99 for the next 9 months, an average of £15.24 per month over a year.

    Andrea :)

    I'm very happy with my Broadband ISP - V21. They have a 2M/2G service for £11-98 per month, but offer a £2 discount to anyone taking their FreeTalk comms package (similar to TalkTalk tariff, with free weekend calls). So I'm effectively paying £9-98 pm, which I consider to be very good value.

    I know some people like to keep their ISP/telecoms packages separate and I can understand this. However, as I use 1899 and other telecoms providers, it is hard to find another CPS provider that effectively charges minus £2 per month (ie they give me £2 pm)!

    I see know one has mentioned that if you don't live within sight of an exchange, you won't get 8mb and if you live over 5km from an exchange (not very far by the way) then the most you can get is 512k.

    I decided to get Telewest in December, but didn't realise that I wouldn't be able to use my wireless ADSL router. Since we are three of us using the wireless router via our wireless cards, I had to return my Telewest package as I would have had to buy a wireless cable router etc and it would have been costly and been too much of a hassle.
    Am now considering Euro1net.
