NTL, on their 3-2-1-0 telephone tariff, around late 2000 or early 2001 IIRC. Then NTL broadband on 512K, uplifted to 600K and 750K (I think ...). Moved off-net then and went to Virgin.net dialup (so still NTL really) and stuck with it ever since. Got their ADSL when the exchange was enabled; these days with BTW having done some infrastructure work hereabouts I normally get 2.5Mb, occassionally rising to 2.75Mb for a week or two once in a while. Not bad, given that the line length is 4 miles or more.
