I need a new isp. Any offers or advice?

Virgin have actually been really good with us, but they're now jumping into bed with Phorm & the CEO said net neutrality was balls, so that makes me less inclined to recommend them!

if they are in your exchange and you're line is decent enough, go with Be (www.bethere.co.uk)

They're on our exchange but I'll only be able to get 6mg max, still looks like a not half bad deal though.

The ones I do NOT recommend are the classics: Tiscali, Talk talk & BT. They are the only ones in this area and every single one of them is poo

yeah, jesus don't go with any of those!

Even if you can only get 6Mb I'd suggest going with Be, everyone in my company gets a free Be Pro connection and we haven't had a problem with them. Reading the forums some people have had problems with them but like many of these things I can go out and find 50 happy Be customers just as easily as I could 50 unhappy customers ;)

I have just replaced my router because the supplied one is IMHO a bit pants but it's a Speedtouch which is the standard router supplied by most ISPs (the BT HomeHub is a re-branded re-boxed Speedtouch).

Zen Internet. Good, reliable, helpful (even if they didn't give me a job). There are cheaper though.

Unless you want TV and phone and internet packages.
