What's the best adsl/broadband around?
Beacause my dad says "not now" because "we cant afford it right now"
but if i can find a cheap and reliable service I'm sure he'll break ^_^
so any suggestions?
thanx in advance

You obviously live in a crappy area then!
People still complain about their customer services being crap. I phone up yesterday and got straight through. They found my pin number for me straight away. Nice and easy.
It's dropped twice in 8 months and I've never noticed it to slow down.
But then that's the problem with all ISPs, depending on where you live. Some places it may be crap, others it may be good.
Depends.

But so can everyone else. Pipex have been crap at times, Freeloa's 0845 have been a joke at times, etc etc.
Phi11ip seems happy with them though, and you know how much of a complaining little B!tch he can be about things :) So that puts NTL pretty highly on that account.
As for suggestions, take a look into Pipex, as they do standard ADSL for £23 which is good, although I believe there are some cheaper ones out there, I'd be a little causious about them, until you've found out a little more.
Freeola's ADSL would probably be good, compaired to their past record with good service, but a little bit pricy when looking at Pipex, and the Webspace thay offer is half of what Pipex do .. but offer you your own Domain Name with the package, so it depends on which you like best.

Very, very rarely now. Used to have a lot of big problems, but I haven't been disconnected for months now..touchwood.
*Holds on to wood very tightly*
I really can't complain at £34.99/month for a 1mbit service, and have never noticed it being slowed down thanks to being "clogged up" - that depends entirely on where you live, and here it's fantastic, downloading at 119k/sec right now. ADSL became available here last week, and I have no reasons to want to leave ntl at all now really.

He's right though, NTL can get pretty damn crappy at times.
I rest my case!
You're wrong.
It's not slow.
And if you're paying #29.99 (keyboard!) a month then you're paying OTT. Even Freeola are lower than that and they were pretty expensive at one time...

NTL are ok but there are loadza people on there and so it is slow. It clogs up their service and the bandwidth is reduced. I am with Claranet. Normal £29.99 a month and a one-off £50 fee and a fantastically fast internet service...don't let n e one tell u otherwise and phi11ip is definitely going to contradict this coz hes family and competitive...im right!
Most of them have a big fat installation charge and are about 24 pounds a month ish.
NTL do free instalation and very cheap broadband. Well, fast internet.
