UK ISP which one do you use

[tenpole]

For UK members only. I am getting fed up with Tiscali and their poor excuse for a service. When my bandwidth is restricted during peak hours I cannot play javabowl. So any recommendations for ISP from the rest of you?

Please, no AOL.

And that goes for Wanadon't as well.

I'm going to be on Sky in a couple of weeks, as I need digital TV and my phoneline also, so made sense to get the lot in one go.

Tiscali are without a doubt the worst excuse for an isp I've ever dealt with. We moved to namesco ourselves, 60GB per month limit (Excluding 1am to 6am) for I think £25.00 per month we're paying, decent if you do a lot of downloading. (Flatmate gets close to the limit rather often). Never had any speed or latency issues, 40~80ms and seen upwards of 700kB/sec on the odd thing I have downloaded myself. Had a problem with disconnects and they were great, a few calls and they found the problem was my own router that needed a firmware upgrade. (After doing their own tests and getting BT to do some rather promptly)

Previously I would have recommended Demon internet, been with them for about 8 or 9 years back home and for a time they had no download limits. Brilliant service, think I had to ring them twice in all those years and always sorted fast. (Uk call centre :)). Have heard they have gone a bit of the rails lately, think someone bought them? In any case still no problems as of yet.

I've never had any troubles with ntl (phone net and tv package) but I don't do a huge amount of downloading, just general net surfing and gaming.

I'll second youkiebar on NTL. It's even better when your not paying the bill. Me and my brother are online fairly constantly and haven't had a problem. Download speeds are a bit slow when we are both hammering it but other than that no complaints here. I would have repplied earlier but I've been on holiday (I'll try and keep the Threadomancy to a minimum)..

I'm on BT and no problems except that the exchange is a fair bit away. It's even coping with increased downloading now.

This is a totally inappropriate topic for this forum. If you feel the need to discuss ISP's take it to PM or open a thread in random musings.
