Default BB providers query



I'm looking to change BB provider and am looking at several different ones.
Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) with the following companies???

a) Homecall
b) Tesco
c) ADSL4less

I'm not looking for anything over 512kbps but am after an uncapped service
and don't really want to pay over £25 p/m. Is there any others I should look
for? I don't want to go to BT or A***holes On Line.

Also, does anybody know whether I can use my Alcatel frog modem with other
companies or will I have to purchase another modem???

TIA

Netty

What exchange are you on? If it's been unbundled by Easynet then you may
be able to get 0.5Mbps uncapped for a tenner.

ADSL modem can be used for any ISP.

Demon £19.99 per month Home500
Metronet
F2S

beware of Tesco - provided by NTL as a datastream conneciton.

Tiscali - dialup speeds at Broadband prices :-)
