RE: Which provider?
I use AOL UK. Before you call me a newb, let me tell you the deal i'm getting:

£19.99/month for 8Mb/s with no cap.

I don't know how I am getting that, but when I joined AOL, when broadband in the UK was just starting, I paid £39.99/month for 512kb/s, then it eventually went down to £24.99, then it went down to £19.99, then I got upgraded to 2Mb/s but the price should've gone up to £24.99, but it didn't

Anyway, one day, I connect to the internet and it was like "OMG 8MEG!" and the price didn't go up.

I don't want to do anything that might make AOL realise i'm paying too little, so i'm just going to sit quiet.

RE: Which provider?
I think the service differs from one region to another even though it's from the same company, so you can't generalize that.

Although I also think that AOL gives you loads of junk stuff (at least in the place I live), I cannot deny saralk has a good provider.

And, by the way, your poll sucks.

Youre a newb.

I pay £5 a month for 8mb, and no caps.

And Orange isnt crap, i have never had any down time atall, And i am always getting a steady speed at about 7mbps.

Have been with Freeserve, wanadoo, and orange all the way, no problems atall.

Appart from the crappy call centers...

Telenor suck, actually.

I use Eclipse. The majority of big British ISPs suck because they have bandwidth limits.


bt have bandwidth limits you know you can never go over.

like 60gb.

doesnt mean they suck, bt is really good. fast, never ever down [been using for 3 years], good call centres. good company.
