New broadband supplier?

[Caspar]

Right, now that my company has decided to stop paying my BB costs I'm going to downgrade my package and even move to a cheaper supplier.

Who's the best ADSL BB supplier that you'd recommend? On a BT phoneline...

Wanadoo have so far been great, £29.99 for 1 meg, customer service seems ok, they phoned me yesterday to see if everything was going ok. (I was going to mention my back giving me gip but decided against it)

I was hoping for something around the .5MB sort of band for circa £20

Well myself have been with Pipex for 18 months without any trouble.

Superb reliability, spot on speeds.

One or two outages for periods of 1 or 2 minutes usually emailed in advance and the early morning hours and not noticeable and this is not Pipex but when BT are carrying out maintenance on the local exchange.

E-mail has never failed once in 18 months.

Comes in a little over your budget of £20 for £23.44 for unlimited however the capped service of 1GB per month comes in just under at £19.99.

I currently have and still from the start the solo to go 500 package which is a free modem and filters and a doddle to install plug and go but now alternate between the USB ADSl modem and a speedstream PCI card.

Bonus is the 256k upload which only get on 1MB and above with NTL.

Full package details found here

Although i am biest for other views i would suggest taking a looksie here

Pipex also have their own equivalent to ntlhell etc found here

But surprisingly it is not very popular, either that or they do not have many problems.

I can second that, been on the same package for about 3-4 months. My ntl account has just closed, and I'm very happy with Pipex so far. I was very impressed with the way they kept me informed about my order by sending me 3 or 4 email to let me know how it was progressing and when it would be enabled. I had an email one afternoon saying I would get the modem within 48 hours and it turned up the next day.

I have had no problem, and I am very pleased with the experience so far.

Pipex are a little 'maligned' - I would recommend http://www.plus.net, they have a more flexible service, more reliable email and usenet servers and more available and higher quality customer services (Pipex's main failing, connection good, mail/news 'ok-ish', CS appauling in my experience).
