    Thats like asking what would you rather eat, dogsh1t or horsesh1t.

    Go for another ISP
    Horsesh1t obviously, as they only eat straw and grass, not meat and other animals sh1t.

    As I think the rest of the thread says, as long as you don't need to call them, NTL are spot on. Free speed upgrades, no caps and I always hit the speed that my service is rated at. Have been with them for 7 years now and can't complain at all.

    my 4mbit does 3.8/450 which is good put i sometimes suffer problems with it as i have mentioned lol, i want to change to ADSL probably Eclipse with a 2mbit low contention but I don't have the money to reconnect to BT.. my friend has bullsh1t though and reckons he has the full speed but... Bulldog themselves have said it's only 2mbit... lol

    Well, i am not sure wether to go NTL or choose an ADSL ISP. Euro1net. What are your views on this company then? Does it look good? Should i opt for a 24 month contract or pay £50 for setting up? Either this company or NTL. Please help me decide guys:

    From the responses above, I would say NTL is the better, but I'm not sure they would be described as the best.

    The ones I see as the best are Eclipse Internet which have a good contention ratio, atleast where i live, and if you lived in London Be.unlimited would be even better.

    Be is also offered in Birmingham and Manchester too (possibly more, those are the only ones I've heard about in particular).

    Well, after a lot of reading etc etc i think that Cable is better to have than ADSL. I am after a 1mb service and with NTL offering a 1mb unlimited broadband with Telephone line and free calls on the weekend, all for £24.99 a month i think this looks a good deal. I am with BT at the mo and i pay £11 a month for line rental!!! So, take £11 from the NTL price and it will be costing me £13.99 a month for 1mb unlimited Broadband!

    Do you guys think this is a good deal?

    I don't want to pay anymore and i am quite happy with a 1mb Broadband service as i don't download much, only drivers and updates.

    Please let me have all your views on the above. Thanks
