Hi guys,

I am going to be movnig at the start of next month and, as I am now with NTL who really really suck, I was wondering if anyone recommends a certain broadband provider.

I am told BT is actually quite good but their customer service is rubbish. the main thing for me is that there is no down time and hardly any freezes of the provided equipment.

anyone have any ideas on what i should go for?

I've had broadband from BT for almost two years now Boldie. It's never down and has never
frozen whilst I've been online. I dont know what their customer services are like as I've never
had to use them!!  Cheesy

Well if you want cheaper broadband and have sky tv go for that, or wait a few months for the free version.

AOL

AOL are ok as I've used them in the past but you have to log on and off every time you use them, ok if used once a day and left on but I was cut off a few times and you need your PC/laptop on if you want to use a games console online (Xbox360, etc.)

I have a wireless router and I haven't logged on to AOL for over a year now.

I use virgin wireless router and no probs, customer service crap. Wouldn't use BT they are crap. I would never use NTL again for anything they have to be one of the worst company's I have ever had the misfortune to be outraged by on numerous occasions. I dont trust AOL.

I would rather have dialup than broadband with AOL. Ive used Telewest for years and never had any problems whatsoever!

I know flushy said he had a few problems with them but after a couple of initial minor problems bulldog have been the business for me.

having said that Ive just  remembered that they've stopped taking new customers but Ive written the post now, so just a bit of a chirp about how good bulldog are and how you cant get them no more Cool

I use Tiscali they are good and definitely value for money, but at peak times my broadband does get knocked off now and again. I was thinking about changing it to BT - what's wrong with BT?
