Adsl Recomendations

Mojo · Post by **Mojo** » Wed May 04, 2005 9:20 am

Hey folks

For the last 6 years I have had an NTL Cable Modem, I have just moved into a new place and NTL cable modems are no longer an option. Due to the fact that NTL sucks donkeys cock I am unwilling to sign up to their freedom? adsl service as unless they can give me a cable modem I dont want to have to put up with their shoddy customer service etc etc.

What I am looking for is 2-3mb unrestricted service or if I have no choice 10g+ monthly dl limit.

Im looking for something cheap, flexible with good service and quality kit so please let me know whats hot, whats not and who sucks donkeys cock. (and most of all who gets good daoc connectivity) :>

It's hard to find an ISP nowadays that doesn't have caps and limits, but Demon although generally a little more expensive have ALWAYS been one of the few ISPs to hold out and never implement caps and useage limits.

Lists all (i think) UK ADSL ISP's, has forums there so you can see what users think, and a bunch of other stuff

Pipex do a 2Meg service for £34 a month.

I'm pretty happy with them. Been a damn sight less troublesome than when I was with NTL anyway. :silly:

freedom 2 surf (f2s) is my service of choice.

My package is up to 2mbps @ 50:1 contention, with 60g monthly download (unmeterd from 00.00 to 06.00 hrs). the cost is £24.99/month

They also offer a 12gig per month package @ £15.99 /month iirc.

Their customer service is first class, and the members area is very comprehensive and full of useful info.

Here they are!

Yes, we know you're all spoilt cunts in Sweden, but unfotunately our phone network is overseen by BT which by default puts us at least 10years behind the rest of the world in telecommunications

eclipse.co.uk, they have a uk based helpdesk, offer a variety of packages, including a contention ratio of 20:1 for non-business customers. They also regularly topped the adslguide performance evaluations.

On demon - they have an offshore helpdesk that from my experience is awful.

Demon is my ISP of choice too... primarily as they dont have limits, their upload is less restricted than most, they offer a static IP... oh and my company pays the bill.... its a hard life.

seriously though they are the best of all that I have tried and have been quite happy to pay for the slightly more expensive service for the past year. Beats the hell out of 2 hour reconnect timers....
