What's everyone's ISP of choice in the UK?

I'm intending to get a dedicated line for myself for this year, and since the main reason I went with ZenADSL last year is because they give you 5 usable IPs, I don't need them this year, and they're fairly expensive it seems.

I'm not averse to cable although I'd much prefer ADSL. I'd like a better upload speed than 256k and this doesn't seem possible on ADSL so if cable providers can do a connection with good upload, I'll go for that.

12 month contract is no problem, but a bandwidth cap is a big no-no.

Any recommendations?

I use ukonline which is 2meg down 256 up for £29.99 a month with a 500 gig a month download cap (nil really)

What's the service like donny, reliable and as fast as stated?

indeed
hugely infact

Its gone down once for 3 hours since i have had it (over 6 months now) and i get 240k a sec downloads from website with good bandwidth and average about 70 - 80 k a sec on torrents. 250 meg webspace and great customer service line if you need it.

I would recommend them dude

Faster uploads are coming in November for everyone on ADSL, something like 512Kbits. Your line will also sync at max speed it can support (8mbits down if you live real close to an exchange, it gets slower the more copper between you and the exchange).

ADLS2+ trials are also running now, 24Mbits down, but don't expect to get on that when it goes live unless you live near a big city.

Dunno what the cable ops are planning, best checking BY/NTL sites..

I'm on Eclipse 2mbit btw. No caps, free static IP (up to 4 or 8 static IPs if you wish and can justify the need for them), £29.99/mo. Webspace is a shitty 20mb or something tho. Monthly contract too. I'm not too sure but I think they've got free migrations on right now.

Nice info baggy....512k supload will be great

Is there SBC in the uk? they have a 3meg down 512k up package for 25USD right now.. so maybe around the same but in UK moneys?

I was on Plus Net before i moved back down for the summer. Cheap, no caps (when i had it) Pretty reliable, but never phone the tech support after 5pm
