I'm in the process of changing from Pipex to Plusnet.
Plusnet is cheaper, has much better customer satisfaction figures, and you can get extras such as static IP, web hosting etc.
Let me know if you're interested, 'cause I can recommend you and get a discount!
Also check out ADSL Guide for lots of useful info.

ADSL guide seems to suggest Nildram, NDO or Eclipse.

All of which seem to offer 512meg Lite lines, what the hell does light mean? Light use or?

I use my internet alot and prices vary from 20 quid + VAT per month from those 3 ISPs to 32 quid a month. Why the difference? All seem to have the same contention ratio and provide web space (bar nildram cheapest one).

Thumbs up

PlusNet are great value for money, and have excellent customer service. And as previously mentioned, things like web hosting and static IP address are a bonus.

I have Nildram with a D link ADSL router, Nildram service is great, sort out problems (usually of my own making) quickly without hanging on the phone. The Router is way more reliable then the crappy internal Connexant modem I had, just kept dropping the line, sometimes ok for days and then crap for days, as far as I know the router hasnt lost a connection.
