I am currently with BT Yahoo on ADSL and am fed up with em. It costs me
29.99
a month to have problems accessing the service which, especially of late, is
ridiculously slow and unstable. Add to that a customer service team that
you can never get through to and you'll understand why I am asking.

I don't particularly want Telewest and NTL don't supply where I live so can
anyone offer advice on a good, reliable, fast and reasonably priced service
that I an switch to? For info I live in NW UK.

All help much appreciated.

Cheers

D

Aside from straight forward ADSL access is there anything else you want
from your ISP?

Once you have given a clearer picture of your requirements people will be
better able to recommend a suitable supplier.

I'm very biased as I run the service however I recommend UKFSN

I have just migrated from BTOW to Pipex, best thing i ever did. Their
was a problem with their new server going very very slow, but fromm
this morning it seems to be ok.Iit workes out at £23.44p per month..
and no migration fee. Also if you give me a menshion when you migrate i
will get a month rent free.

No you won't. The referrals scheme stopped over a month ago.

O no, just my luck. I lost out on the cheap 1meg price because i
migrated the day after it finished, now i have lost out on the free
month. Never mind.

Seems like Pipex gets the most raps from what I have read but do they
effectively use the BT Openworld infrastructure?
