Default Best Broadband Provider

I dislike AOL and BT for obvious reasons, so I don't really want to use them.

I thought of Tiscali but wanted other opinions on who offers the best broadband solution for a home user like me. I haven't got a broadband modem so I have to take that into consideration as well.

Can anyone advise me?

Hello

Have a read through bbs.adslguide.org.uk.

The best ones are Nildram, Eclipse and Zen.

I use Zen, get consistently fast speeds, and a bunch of joke websites every Friday(!). www.zenadsl.co.uk.

I can't fault Eclipse, 12 months now with no outages. Customer Service is good too.

Can't recommend Zen enough. See their website here

Make BT Broadband seem like a bunch of incompentant amateurs.
