Question

Has anybody had any experience of these guys?

I will be installing internet / e-mail at home for the first time when my modem arrives and do not know which is the best provider to go with.

I have Telewest cable at home and can have broadband but I can't justify £25pm really fo the amount of use it will have. The other service they provide is Blueyonder which is £10pm including calls.

Is this any good,and if not who do you recommend?

Thanks guys n gals

Both very good...

10£ a month beeing the cheapest i've seen!! Usually it 10£ a month for free off peak!

I think freeserve does a similar deal!

Have heard good thinks about broadband..

BT too expensive and i find the download rate is a bit crap!

Do you know of a cheap place to buy a modem?

My Mum & Dad are on the Blue Yonder £10 a month unlimited service. It used to be difficult getting connected but is much better now. Occasionally you get Disconnects for no reason.

I went over to the Blue Yonder Broadband yesterday - unlimited access(permanently connected) and unbelievable speed - well impressed so far. £25 a month.

Cheers,

Ian.

We are with Blueyonder, £10 per month and have no problems. Always connect first time and have hardly ever been disconnected.

I tried AOL on a free trail, all I can say is no wonder they were giving it away for free coz I always got disconnected and it totally crashed my pc all the time, got fed up with having to re boot.

I was thinking of moving over to braodband, they say it is really quick.

Get the Broadband service, you wont regret it !!

I did it a few months ago and recommended 3 friends so I got 3 months free rental !! Superb !

Can get download speeds of 60kbs, not bad for old Blighty.

Cool

I was on the old analogue service as well, but it was too much hassle with just the one phone line. I think they wanted £6.99pm for a 2nd line, so it was only a bit away from the £25 for Blueyonder and it's way faster.

Never looked back since; go for it, you know it makes sense
