Re: ADSL (Who U Recomend)
Goin goff the last item of the list i'd go for Plusnet 2mb lite, however have a look at ADSLguide.org.uk & see whats been said there.
have a look at your top chosen ISP's and see whats going on in thier support forums.
Either way for what you say your wanting, the cheapest package & cap from any should suffice.

Re: ADSL (Who U Recomend)
Doing an overall research from adslguide.org rankings and what not, I came to conclude that Freedom2Surf, Zen, Plusnet, Pipex and Nildram are the best. Price wise and reliability/speed wise.
I've been on F2S adsl for all of last year and it has been great, a shame I switched to cable, I regret it.

Re: ADSL (Who U Recomend)
I have had BT dial up and Tiscali dial up and broad band , i am now on ntl broadband and so far ntl broad band is the best out of the three , What i like about it is your allways connected but with BT and Tiscali broad band you have to click on there icon to get connected each time unless you buy a router.

Re: ADSL (Who U Recomend)
zen are very very reliable, not the cheapest mind, but they do offer short contracts and static IPs

Totally Agree. I would hate to Dial Up every time I re-boot 
My brother is not in a NTL area. So ADSL is the way for him
OneTel looks ok. Free UK Calles to UK anytime & a 2MB Broadband for £29.99

Re: ADSL (Who U Recomend)
It's not really like having to dial-up at all... at least it wasn't when I had ADSL (for info, that was in 2000 and I was with Club Internet in France) - it's really like a password dialog box, the connection itself is always-on and instantaneously established once you power up. It takes longer to type your password or click the OK button than it does to establish the connection. You don't notice it at all - in actual fact it takes longer for my cable modem to spring into life and do it's disco light stuff than it used to take my ADSL modem to connect.
