AOL is £24.99 for 512MB Unlimited, Been with them for 2 years with no problems, all my mates are AOL and find it good as well, loads of new features with AOL 9.0.

512MB @ £24.99 what a bargain!

Whatever you do DON'T touch Tiscali. I've just switched to Prodigy and pay £30.99 for unlimited 1MB line and whilst I haven't been with them long enough to judge they have got good reviews, operate a 1 month notice policy and provide me with a static IP address.

I've got the 1MB service from www.nildram.co.uk. Excellent fast service - though it does cost a bit more.

Check out the ADSL Guide if you are having problems deciding.

Personally, I went with Pipex, in the year I have had it, not had one drop out. None too shabby for £25 a month.

Lil's Sis reckons Wannadoo are pants and Pipex are the chaps to spend your money with North of the Border. Seemingly the main thing to gauge them by is their monthly download limits?

Then again, she does work for PC World.

Cant see the problem with BT. We have 1MB for £29.99 from them and no problems so far. Connected on day we asked for and fast delivery of everthing you need for free. Connection always states 1.1MB and speed is incredible compared to 56k.

I've heard a few bad things about Wanadoo (unsurprising given their history). As for AOHell, if you sign with them I'll have to kill you as an example to others.

Another vote for Pipex here. In fact, my father and six of my mates[1] took Pipex on my recommendation and none of them have had any hitches.

[1] Would be nice to get some commission

Oh it makes me laugh
Those who sit there and slag off BT saying about their bad service... unless you have cable your using BT weather you like it or not, period
I personally have only had one problem with BT but as i work for them i caused a very big fuss and it got sorted out by some quite high level people
