    Which ISP?

    Hi,

    My 12 month renewal for ADSL is coming up. I currently pay £22 for a 512 connection with Plusnet. Anyone got any preferences or recommendations? Same speed better price?

    Ive been with BT, but im going back to ZenADSL asap.

    Not sure on best price but seeing as service is soon going to be bandwidth limited im going to look for best unlimited service not cheapest price

    Thats for their 4Mb uber line ( damn local loop unbundlers )

    Everywhere else is limited to 2 Mb with the normal upload speed. Saying that loads of people on adslguide are moaning about bulldog being slow but if you look for my name on there and see my signature - it shows otherwise

    Zen ADSL only for me... been with them 3 times, and will recommend to anyone... plus you don't have to sign up for a 12 month contract so it's ideal for students who move about lots!

    Oh and Zen are Bandwidth unlimited as far as i know... and it's definitley value for money )

    the lady speaks the truth - there is a very good reason why Zen are constantly rated best ISP

    I have about 50 zen dsl lines with various clients and have always found there service levels to be exceptional - which is more than I can say for clients that ordered their own broadband through various bargain basement isp's ( BT included )

    we run a system on one of our lines that is downloading data 24/7/365 ( on a 2 meg line ) and have never had any problems from them.

    Another very contented Zen user here. They are not the cheapest, but service is excellent and they are almost always rated the fastest on the speed tables. No bandwidth limits and no contract.
