    I was with ADSL24 for a couple of months, cracking service, would definately use again.

    I use MultiplayDSL - rolling monthly contract and had no issues with them at all

    Would recommend adsl24 from personal experience.

    Other things to consider:
    Are you likely to be a heavy user?
    Is your exchange adsl2+ enabled?

    8Mb Home
    Home 30 - 30GB £19.56pm

    adsl2+ 24Mb
    2plus35 - 35GB £19.56pm

    1 month contracts and you can switch between plans if it doesn't suit. Active forums, UK based 24/7 tech support etc, etc.

    The plans are changing March 30th but nothing too drastic. Check out the forums, the company gets loads of praise from its customers - not just whinging and problems.

    I too looked at Zen, top ISP by all accounts, adsl24 were just a bit cheaper for what I wanted.

    See other ISP ratings at DSL ZoneUK.

    I would not Recommend ADSL24, for the past 3months they have had constant speed issues, with no sight of any resolution.
    Ok if you just want to surf the net, but if you want to watch an online video or download anything, prepare for a long wait.
    They used to be good, but no longer.
