Yep, I have, but will be going elsewhere after my 12 months is up as you can get 1Mb for the price of their 512Kb.

Pipex is £33.99 for 1Mb but there are quite a few others too, many that are cheaper still.

Take a look here, there are loads

Ive had BB with Freeserve for nearly two years now, Ive had no real problems, found them easy and efficient when dealing with them and always have decent up/down load speeds,and Im running a small lan with another pc and xbox.

Ive recommended Freeserve BB to a number of people and theyve always mirrored my own feelings. In fact the biggest problem I had was that they undercharged me £10 a month for about a year !!!! and didnt ask for a penny of it back 'cause they said it was their fault !!

Yeah -I use Freeserve's 512kbps ADSL service. I've had the link for just short of 3 years. The performance has degraded as it's become more and more popular, but it's still OK.

Another happy customer. Had Freeserve broadband for over a year.

I had a phase in the summer where the connection would drop for no apparent reason, but this could be restored quickly by reconnecting, starting Explorer, and un-checking "Work offline". Didn't cause me any major problems as it might only have happened twice a day, tops. Anyway, it doesn't happen now. Good reliable fast connection. No speed degradation noticed as popularity has gone up.
