What isp?!

[acidrainy]

After managing to campaign for broadband where I live, we are finally going to get ADSL activated on the 18th of Feb!

I'm looking for a decent isp and I'm more tempted to go with a 1meg line than anything else....


The tossup is between:-

• Nildram
• Eclipse
• Zen

Anyone got any suggestions or recommendations for a good ADSL isp?

Pipex is only around £23 a month and I've heard nothing but praise about the reliability of the service.

BT, not even gonna start listing reasons as im sure most will disagree, but most proberly dont know the full facts

[acidrainy]

I both pity and despise you at the same time.

(I was banned from your "unlimited" dial-up service. Twice. )

We have Eclipse and have had no problems with it.

And it is the fastest
apparently.
Off a good server, speeds of 60KB a sec are usual.

And it is a good price.

You had any downtime with it? They seem to be constantly good on adslguide...

Quite interested on how they actully are.

Nildram have been my ISP for 512/256 over the past 12 months, and I have absolutely no bad things to say about them. 2 downtimes in the whole year, only one was DSL related

Zen for me - Only snag is you can't do reverse DNS. Static IP as standard and SMTP is allowed.

Another bonus is you are only on 1 month contracts

Could you not get a 3rd part to setup the Reverse DNS?

eclipse for me, around 50kps and u have the option to get 5 static IPs, useful for a home networking

I've used Plusnet for 2 years and they are absolutely fanatastic.
One of the fastest Broadbands out there;
Great customer support
and cheap to £21.99 per month.

I've heard that Nildram is the best, but I can't fault PLUSNET

Exactly why are static ip's good again ?
Having the same ip just makes it easy for repeated attacks..
