Question

Probably been asked a billion times before- but felt I needed to ask for *current* info..

Looking for ADSL- max 2mb line (512kb would be fine tho')

anyone got any ideas of who to investigate further? (companies or websites)
I don't wan't to pay over £30 a month...

many thanks

PlusNet seem to have excellent customer service.

Would recommend them to anybody thinking of getting broadband.

Brad - I go with Nildram @ work.

Superb IMHO. Spent ages with me on a tech issue when I first set-up.

sorry luke some crossed wires going on here....

I settled on a slower (and MUCH cheaper) service in the end.. I dont have enough time to make 100% use of a 2mb line nice as it would be..


thanks all the same.
