I am amazed at how quickly this ISP has changed from good to poor.

Hope others are not suffering as I did.

I am VERY VERY happy NTL cust now.

Downloading at 1.18 MB/s right now

Unlikely! "B" or "b"?

I've just requested my MAC from Nildram - after 4 years of using them. I do
most of my downloading between 12-8am, when surely traffic is low. Nildram
is rubbish - I'm not fussed about download caps, but if I am going to grab
something from usenet or torrent (Usually live bootlegs as I still buy
virtually all the music I want) I like it to be done quickly.

Any recs on who to use?

So far "freeola" looks good.
