    Good ISP's

    Seeing as i'm getting hardware for a wireless connection i thought i'd try a new ISP. My current provider sucks (Pipex - formerly Homecall who've now either been taken over or joined forces [I used to have Pipex a few years ago and it was way better than this]). MSN cuts off all the time during peak hours and torrents total in single figures. Downloads from fast websites max at about 50kb/s on a good day.

    Can anyone recommend me a decent ADSL provider from experience?

    Cheers.

    Freedom2Surf are always rated high, but we had the occasional slow spot from them. Might have been someone whoring all the upload on our network though.

    You had as in everything is ok now or that you've moved to a different ISP?

    Nothing can be as bad as this between 4pm and midnight. It's getting progressively worse.

    No :( Hitler came round the other day and said if anyone ever tries to setup cable access then we're all getting acid showers by dawn.

    We've moved to telewest, as the new house was set up for it.

    It was definitely usable at peak times though :up:

    I'm planning on moving out next year and cable should be available. For now I need to get an alternative.
