I am on plusnet. Well happy. On the 21.99 pcm ADSL512 (ADSL Home package). All speed tests seem/appear as though I have a faster than 512 connection. Any problems encountered are short lived

The clincher for me was their customer support...they actually communicate both good and bad actions. Along with a mysql db, PHP, 250mb web, static IP, functionality to host own mail/smtp server made the whole package a great deal.

Stoo.

Setup is straight forward and the support is really good and they are open 24 hours a day.

My parents use Plusnet connect dial-up and they are very happy with it. The amount of features you get with it are truly amazing, including static IP's (on dial-up!), php/mysql/cgi webspace + free domain, and advanced mail handling.

Connection is very fast for dial-up too, and I assume that ADSL is of the same high standard. Highly recommended.

PlusNet Uncapped 2Mb ADSL for only £39.99
 
Just spotted this on ADSL Guide ...

http://www.plus.net/products/broadband_home.html

Base package - 4Gb capped - £31.99

Uncapped - £39.99

Seems great value compared to ntl's 1Mbit package ;)

Re: PlusNet Uncapped 2Mb ADSL for only £39.99
 
Hmm - that 1Mbit looks good at £23.99 - I never get near 1GB normally - nevermind 2GB. :)

I use plusnet and i have found them to be excellent, speed is allways there and reliability is top notch, there online service status thing is rather quick and informative and when ever i've posted a question to them they've got back to me within a couple of hours (online postit like notes).
I've never had to call them with a problem and they even called me about 6 months ago (6months into contract i suppose) to see how everything was going and do a user satisfaction survey.

I must note i'm on there 2mbit service (homeworker thing its currently £65.99 a month reducing it would be nice)

I believe they offer 12 month and 1 month contracts with the latter being slightly more expensive

Almost forgot, if you do sign up use the referal 'damnthebroccoli' as it knocks money of my bill if you do :-) and yes the username is in tribute to family guy (stewie)

Take note Ntl - this is how it should be done
 
Ntl could take some tips from Plusnet. Their new packages just introduced has some simple and clever thinking behind them.

They have got a 2mb package for £31.99 with a 2gb per month cap. BUT you can get extra gb for £1.50 each - ok i guess. But here's the simple and clever bit for power users - pay £8 per month extra and have a totally uncapped service. So, £39.99 per month will get you a 2mb uncapped package.

Now Ntl may have thought they had a lead on the market by keeping up with Telewest, but suddenly they have fallen behind again. I guess whatever Ntl do will never be right for a percentage of users but surely they must realise that the broadband market is changing at a rapid pace - and they have to be clever to keep up with the pack.

Be careful Ntl, Dsl is snapping at your heels again - and you haven't implemented the last speed increases yet.
