Im going to be upgrading my internet to 1mbit soonish, looking at 2 ISPs, one is Pipex (www.pipex.com) and the other is freedom2surf (www.freedom2surf.com)
they're both pretty much the same except f2s gives a static IP which i'd prefere, but i dont know anyone on them and wanna find out if anyone uses them/knows somene who uses them, and if they're any good (speeds and uptime)

My mum's work office uses f2s and she says they're very good, so i'm kind of stuck

it needs to be good speeds while downloading, and give me a nice ping in games (30ms max tbh)

anyone ?

Comprehensive list of UK Broadband & Dialup ISP's with Reviews.

Anyone have any reviews of 'Eclipse' and 'Vispa'? It's all good seeing graphs between them all, but i'l rather hear some reviews from actual people myself about the reliablity and speed etc...

I use Telus, they are fast for atleast dowloads....

you can get a static ip address with pipex, my friend has them and they are very good.

Telus gives a static IP, 1.5mbps download speed, and 10mb of web-space.

You're in canada right? Im in UK ...

On the pipex site i see nothing about a static IP, and someone i know has them, he doesn't get a static ip

Looking at Eclipse now, Vispa are too expensive really, Eclipse look and sound good, but waiting for some reviews

yeh my mate has pipex and he doesn't have a static ip either. he also says its rather slow. he has a 1mb connection, but we both agree that my 512kb is faster than his most of the time

well i set up my router with my static ip with no problems

I had no issues setting up my Router, I have a good working knowledge of them but even my mum could do it.  If you do get any troubles setting up a router (if you get one) let me know which maker & model & i'll help you through it.

If you read the manual it will tell you how to Reset your Router   That of course should be a last resort.  Try to think of what your pass MAY have been.

As you say "hope i never need to change anything" you got nothing to worry about UNTIl you gotta change something
