i am currently using bt which has been ok for the past couple of years but they are taking hte buicuit at present with disconnects every couple of minutes and they have also got the cap of 40 gig a month on downloads and impossbile to get to speak to anyone on a helpdesk i have spent best part of 4 hours today getting one answer machine after another today all telling me to phone a different number before cutting me off
so i am looking for a broadband company that can offer me unlimted usage without putting crap on my machine (like aol) looking for a trusted firm but i am not bothered about the cheapest service i prefer a better service
anyone got any recomendations?

My BT Broadband is okay most of the time apart from maybe one bad day every few weeks (touch wood).
They even speeded up my connection from 1 gig to 2.2 with no extra charge recently.
Do you think this is a regional problem ?

Iron, I would try telewest if I were you, No limits on the downloads and its a great service. I would still be with them if i could get it in this area.

AOL block your machine up with useless software and if you ever switch you can't ever fully uninstall it.
Iron i use Tiscali and have done for years, i have NEVER had a problem.

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not.  |

I think the customer service is gonna be non existant with all the added custom, probably strain their servers too. |
