Question ADSL ISPs for home office

What's the concensus on the best ADSL ISPs for small businesses? I don't want to be paying more than £25/£30 month (inc vat). I've been looking at Eclipse, Pipex, Nildram and Zen. Any others worth a look?

TIA

Morning Mark.

Have Eclipse at multiple sites (some are the 50:1 512k service).

Zero hassle with excellent uptime - can highly recommend.

Hello

Zen are great, as you probably know if you have been looking at them.

Need to have a closer look @ Zen, Eclipse and fast24 but I'm meant to be w**king

Is Eclipse's virus scanning good enough to do away with PC based AV?

Definately not. Although the majority of viruses do travel via email, it's not the only infection vector.

Fair enough! TBH I'd just noticed that Eclipse had a virus scanning feature, haven't looked at what it does.

That'd be McAfee's AV you'd be recommending then

I use Eclipse and cant fault it, no outages, excellent customer service..... it has also stopped every email containing a virus reaching my mailbox during this latest outbreak, which must total nigh on a 1000 now and not one has snuck through. The £15 extra a year I pay for it is worth every penny.
