Yo guys,

Thinking of changing my provider currently with freedom to surf, who are you with? or who do you recommend?

Thanks

Be there (BE) are brilliant. Went from a crappy 1.5 connections with orange (up to 8mb) to about 7 (up to 8mb) with BE. They aren't too expensive either.

I'm on Sky. I'm already a sky tv customer so just paid Â£40 one-off fee then I get broadband absolutely free forever....well unless they change something later on I suppose.
They have different speed/size limits available for different monthly fees (Â£0, Â£5, Â£10 etc etc)
I started on the free every months assuming i'd have to upgrade to the next one, but a year later - I still haven't needed to.
Other good points are; never been disconnected yet and a 24hour uk call centre.

Used to be on cable with Telewest and the speed was absolutely brilliant, I had a 4 meg service and that's the speed I had. Then I went to ADSL with Eclipse Internet and this "up to" 8 meg s**t, all I can say is, don't touch Eclipse, biggest pile of w*nk going.

I'm with tiscali, never had an issue until I moved house, when I did had a bit of hassle, don't use there support line the worst ever, better of going on the forum and contacting an English adviser/technician.

Once it got sorted it was all good again, stable line and unlimited (no download limits) but they now have a fair use policy which says try to slow downloads down between 6pm-11pm, but with a lot of modern P2P apps you can create a schedule for these times. I'd recommend them even if though I've had minor hassle.
