First broadband connection was Freeserve ADSL 512k truly unlimited. They offered to upgrade me to 8mbit for less money but with a 40gb cap, said no thanks. Only moved off that August last year although was at uni for 3 years so using OC3 circuits and 2-3 and 4mbit Telewest.

We used BT for dialup but moved to LineOne because it was free after 6pm. Then had a BT ISDN line put in at the old house, but moved out of there a couple of years later. Made the move to broadband just after the turn of the century, went with the eurobell/Telewest 512k connection. Still with Virgin Media after another move of house and probably will be with them for the foreseeable future.

Dial-Up Demon then RedHotAnt (Remember them! Unlimited 0800!! )

House Move.

Eclipse 256 -> 512 (back when they were good)

House Move.

NTL (2M -> 4M ) Eclipse had gone downhill by now and previous owner did something horrible to BT Line.

Now also have ADSL24 Adsl Max (at 3Mbps ).

Useful to have two different connections when working from home!
Would have dropped VM by now but I also have then Mobile Phone deal,
(Tariff will increase from £10 to £20 if I stop BB, and not really interested in
Cable TV - it's dire)
and just waiting to see if anything will happen to 4M in a couple of months..

[Just scanned others posts and I remember brief periods with IC24 and Screaming.net , probable a handful of other 0845 services too,
no loyalty in those days, but then stuck with RHA until its demise]
