It seems BT has finally gotten around to upgrading my local exchange (Yay!)...
Though I'm having quite a bit of difficulty choosing the right ISP. Theres a number of sites providing price comparisons, which is all good...
I'm just a little unsure as to which ISP's provide decent connections, and which I should avoid like the plague?
Wherever I go, there are always plenty of complaints about the larger ISP's, BT, Freeserve, AOL, Tiscali... (and plenty of complaints about the smaller ISP's too!)
But is it just the unsatisfied few who are complaining, whilst the majority are silently happy with their ISP? - I know a number of people with BT at home, all of whom have great connections with no problems at all?
Since the people here seem to know their stuff, I was wondering if anyone could give me a little help?

I'm with Virgin.net, and I have to say thay are the best company I've been with for ISPs (trust me, I've been with a fair few).
I forgot to mention that i know about 7 people with pipex and theres al;l work fine too, no problems that they have told me off...
I am with pipex, i have had it almost 2 years and have only had about one problem which is now sorted, they also have very good customer service...
they are very good...
they are very good...
BT is good. Even though it's meant to be 512, I have gone past 110kb/sec when downloading off of a secure site. Normally 54-70kb/sec on Kazaa. It may help that I'm right next to the telephone exchange :D
I'm with PIPEX (www.pipex.com). It's 70 quid startin fee and then 24 a month. You get the first month for half price etc etc. For all the la-de-dar click on the box on the left of that website. Pipex Solo Extreme or sumerts!
