    Which supplier.

    Right basically my 12 month contract with BT is coming to an end, and after having to fork out £24.99 a month I think Id like to change supplier, cheaper the better.

    I've had a look about and a friend has reccomend Tisscali and it seems pretty reasonable at, £17.99 a month.

    At the moment I do alot of online gaming through my pc or xbox 360 and a bit of music downloading so suggests would be welcomed.

    i think virgin media do a deal, i think its phone, 4mb broadband and a basic tv package for £19.99

    service is good and hardly any problems since switching from ntlworld.

    i use wireless from my router for xbox gaming as my xbox is downstairs and pc upstairs and works brilliantly.

    Not available on the Isle of Wight where Dazza stays

    They do have 1MB ADSL for £14.99 and 8MB for £17.99 though.

    I am with ADSL 24 on the same package, they're very good with customer support, not that I have needed it yet.
    But unlike the big names like Tiscali, Talk Talk, etc. these guys know about the technical side of running an ISP and hardware and are based in UK.
    Most big Isp's have those stupid callcentres in Asia where you can't get any decent help with anything.

    Similar deal with these guys:

    I've been with them 3 years - very impressed and highly recommended. Just pick the package that suits your needs, although it's easy to switch between packages.

    No stupid foreign call centers or operators reading from a script, just highly knowledgeable support when you need it.

    Looks good - thanks. I'm intending to change soon (from Poopex).
    Is there a newsfeed as well?
