    I'm with Pipex and they are good. Well, I have never had a problem anyway. Don't know what their current deals are, and I can't check for as internet explorer keeps crashing every time I go into it on my work computer and it is driving me insane. AHHHHAHAHAHAHAHA.

    Sorry about that.

    Costs me about £23 per month.

    Only Broadband I've been with is Zen (www.zen.co.uk) been with them a year now, £28.00 a month, no minimum one yearly contracts (you can join up for one month and then quit if you want) and I'm currently running 4 computers, all of which can log on at the same time (this shouldn't be an issue on Broadband, btw).

    No problems, no download limits, good service help line, it just feels good and best of all, great ping rates in Call Of Duty

    Only one I know, don't know about others, but can recommend. And in twelve months, very little down time, only shutoff I've had has been in the early hours of the morning and for all I know, that could be down to local BT exchange.

    I would either go for Pipex (who I am now with after a bad experience with Virgin) or Eclipse. I think Eclipse is about £21 a month and Pipex is about £23.50 a month. Neither have download caps at the moment and always get into the top five rated providers on adslguide.org.

    A good way to form an opinion would be to read the forum on adsl guide, see what problems people are having and how often they get them.
