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?

Ive been using asdlguide as my primary reference point, unfortunatly, most ISP's seem to have changed their offers at the start of the month (and until September), and they have yet to upgrade :(

Don't bother with BT or Freeserve at £30 a month its a rip off when you can get the same service for £6 cheaper at ISPs that are probably better. Pipex and Nildram are 2 of the top ISPs and offer cheap monthly prices. Pipex is £23.44 a month and Nildram at £22.99. Nildrams £22.99 package doesn't have webspace like Pipex.

Go to www.adslguide.org.uk and have a look around to see who provides what. Try and stick to paying under £24 a month as theres plenty of choice for low monthly fees.

Don't go AOL. You can't play online games, the ping is too high.
Freeola have the best package if you have a big website, best.package.ever.
Pipex are cheap.

I don't have a clue really...
