Look up your exchange on 'samknows' and see what LLU ISPs there are
for your number, then check out feedback on them at 'thinkbroadband'.

For info on LLU look up 'LLU wiki'

I'm on UKOnline 1Mbit LLU, £9.99/mo unlimited, took longer than
expected to get connected but very good since.

If.. Your in a cabled area and can put up with the less than just so
*customer service .. Virgin media nee ntl aren't that bad and do offer
quite a good service..

Well we use 'em anyway!...

So do I at home

HOWEVER ...

They are very good at agreeing to things / making promises that they
just don't implement. I don't know if they lie or just don't bother to
do what they agree to, they just don't live up to their promises

... but finally I got a deal for the next 6 months of 10meg / tv family
pack / free evening and weekend calls for £28 / month

which I think is a good deal



Its a shame that sort of thing goes on 'tho I've very rarely had to
contact them, but their management does leave quite a bit to be desired.
It surprises me that they don't concentrate on the business broadband
market at all it seems..

There is a lot to do with what cable co it was in the first place, we're
in Cambridge and that one was put together very well but other areas
weren't. Still its an alternative to BT which isn't a bad thing.

But after all its a telecoms company and their the worst to deal with
after Banks for communicating with;!....
