My exchange finally gets ADSL'd on 8th OCT :)

Any reccommendations?

I rang freeserve (my current ISDN ISP) and they were very unhelpful.....

I have used Eclipse since April and cannot fault it. Extremely helpful Customer Service too, no long waits to speak to anyone either.

Has been the top provider for about 6 months or so now

ECLIPSE

Hello

I like Zen (http://www.zenadsl.co.uk), and have been with them for a while now. They offer 1 month contracts.

Go and have a wander through www.adslguide.org.uk.

Another vote for Zen - also used Zen for some workmates based at home. No probs at all - think they got a minimum one month contract now.

We're also using Draytek Vigor 2600 routers - excellent piece of kit.

Pipex is another very good one, one of the top 3 in my opinion. Had a faultless service with them since the intitial 3 months where all the exchanges were having issues with blown Fujitsu cards. That was BT's fault and not the service providers.

No problems perhaps, but do you get consistently good speeds?

Hobo_Jojo 23 September 2003 01:53 PM

was gonna go with pipex as it said min 1 month contract but then read small print which said if u cancel within 12 months u have to pay £58 cancellation fee!

medders 23 September 2003 03:04 PM

Thanks for the info peeps

I'll do some more investigating :)

scoobyster 23 September 2003 04:28 PM

Zen charge £50 activation for the privalage of 1 month minimum contract (fair enough seen as they have to get the line ADSL'd etc), but is there anyone decent who doesn't charge this?

I'm a student so will only be in my flat (and hence using the internet) during term time, so I can't have a contract more than 3 months at a time.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Ben :)

Hobo_Jojo 23 September 2003 05:23 PM

thats my problem too :(

Hobo_Jojo 23 September 2003 05:24 PM

although im not an unwashed student :p

scoobyster 23 September 2003 05:36 PM

How rude ;)

Virgin seem to do what we're after (no activation fee and no min contract), but are a bit more money at £25/month, and don't get the greatest reviews on ADSLguide. Any thoughts folks?

:)

greasemonkey 23 September 2003 06:09 PM

Can add another vote for Pipex, excellent reliability, and excellent throughput. Only downside is your contract length issue. Have you checked the small print to see if there's any provision for you relocating without having to start a new contract?
