I don't think I'm getting good value, I'm paying nearly ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£30 a month for a Nildram 512k connection with a static IP.
While the connection is generally OK and the customer service is very good, it's not particularly fast and my pings aren't great either.

I'm not entirely happy that they've been bought by Pipex, who are crap IMO.

I'd prefer to be with NTL but it's not available in my area, despite being able to see the NTL Cardiff Bay building from where I live.

NTL is faster and also cheaper because then I wouldn't need a phone.
