O.P. DSL ISPs
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 :undecided:

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

anyone ?

O.P. RE: DSL ISPs
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...

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

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
