If you do go Bulldog for christ sake don't cancel the DD if you have problems, my mate did and broke the contract and ended up paying for the whole year! Can't remember the exact details but he had disconnections while playing Final Fantasy at night, 3 people where connected though a router all playing FF at the same time, but NTL was fine (Terryon modem) and Bulldog was disconnecting! He got sick of it after a month and cancelled, BIG mistake, he should have witheld payment until it got sorted!

He was on the phone everyday and had engineers visit and still no joy! Even with just one PC without the router it was still the same problem of disconnections. Luckily his NTL account was a few days from being cancelled so he just called and told them to cancel the cancellation, he's now happily chugging along at 2mbit with the same 3 PC's playing FF through the router!

Probably a rare bad experience of Bulldog, but enough to make us think twice! This was in the Nottingham area BTW, NG17 postcode!
