So what are the best alternatives to BT Broadband?

Just got Pipex Xtreme Solo2Go. So far so good.

But I can say that the whole thing went off without a hitch and Pipex have a really nice system to help you setup email accounts, webspace etc. etc.

I went from two frustrating years of BT to Nildram last year. Very impressed and just got the 1meg turned on with no drama.

Pipex- had it 2 years without any probs. Also one of the cheapest

If you can get their service, these guys are excellent. Can't recommend them enough.

Pipex and the migration from BT across was seemless, as I didnt lose my connection for more than a few hours on the day they changed over.

always consider the activation fees some ISP charges. pipex doesn't if you stay with them for 1 year. check out www.bulldogdsl.com and www.cpbb.co.uk also.

Another vote for Nildram, had Pipex before and they were useless at the time as they had taken on too much business, got a refund and went for Nildram who come consistently near the top for speed on adslguide.org (good site for Broadband info btw) and the customer service is good, never had to wait for hours on the phone like Pipex whos support was meant to be open til 8pm and was closed when I rang at 7.30pm, grrr.

Just another thing on Nildram service....
I've always talked to a person almost immediately for any query (sales/technical/billing) and even had someone answer the phone on 1st Jan when I had password issues.
In this age of "you're in a queue, press any key to wait for another 20 minutes at 10p a minute", that was enough to keep to my custom.

Nildram from me as wel 18 months and counting, touch wood, no outages.

i use nildram. very reliable. only disadvantage is that accounts and sales are only open til 5pm. but the service has never gone down in my experience.

Going with all these others why??????
You are still on the BT ADSL line from your local exchange. You have basically only changed your Server which comes off of BT's network where???? ...... The only time you truly come off BT is if you go with a cable company.
I have both NTL and BT and I have got to say BT is much faster and more reliable.

This is in my opinion.

All the best

I went with eclipse as they were cheaper. Also the people at the other end of the phone at BT were realy arrogant and not nice people to deal with so eclipse get my money

I use Virgin, and so far all has been well, only had it a couple of weeks though. The only reason I use Virgin rather than BT, is Virgin dont do the minimum 12 month period thing.

Another vote for Eclipse here too.
