    Help me decide!

    My BT BB contract is up next month, gonna switch to someone else as BT is too damn expensive.

    I want a pop3 address and preferably some webspace too. I'll even really push it and ask if having a server permanently on and running doesn't breach AUP.

    So, who do you lot reccomend?

    NTL et al are out as no-one has laid any sort of cable even remotely near here.

    I'm not too fussed about contract length, but do have to be able to pay by DD.

    Over to you guys!

    Plusnet - www.plus.net

    Gio Internet - www.giointernet.com

    I'm with Plusnet - currently paying £22 p.m for 512ADSL with 256mb Webspace, but I think its cheaper now

    www.f2s.com 22.50/month free activation, brilliant service. I've been with them about 18 months and had virtually no problems.

    They give you webspace think its about 20MB or so, not sure about the server tho. It's also a static ip address .

    Nildram. I've been with them since last November and had no problems whatsoever. You get a subdomain (something.nildram.co.uk) and 100MB of webspace.

    www.getadsl.co.uk

    They have 512kB, 1MB and 2MB lines available to the home now. Not the cheapest, but you're definitely paying for quality.

    we use NewNet in our house, and would probably go with Zen if we had to pay.

    On Nildram here, and loving it

    Zen, Nildram and Eclipse are all suppose to be good.

    Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
    Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean
