Default [OT] ISPs Tiscali/ talk talk, or whatever silly name they call themselves.

Can anyone recommend a decent ISP. I'm fed up to the back teeth with
Tiscali or Talk talk

You survived this long??

See who else is offering service to your exchange
http://www.samknows.com/broadband/broadband_checker


Ideally LLU service

He might already have that, with TalkTalk! ;-)

Personally I'd much rather be using BT exchange equipment, via a decent
ISP. Well, actually, I'd rather be on cable, but that's another story!


Well admittedly TT would be at the bottom of the choice list on LLU, But if
the OP has a phone line that could be susceptible to noise the BT IP profile
and BRAS system can be disastrous*with adsl as another mark pointed out,*
And to make matters worse*the new 21cn is an even bigger cockup if your line
suffers a noise incident*on ADSL2+ your profile can be banded by BT and that's
not easy to remove, the isp reports a fault to BTW and get a reply saying
"For your connection, the acceptable range of speed*is 1000-7150 Kbps"*
