I'm getting a divorce from my ISP

Postby Blueboy » Thu Apr 13, 2006 3:57 pm

Metronet have gone down the pan since PlusNet took them over. Anyone got any recommendations for a good no-frills ISP? I don't need a router, parental controls, free firewall etc, etc. - just an ADSL account.

I signed up to freedom2surf as it came out best in a which magazine review. Had no probs and am getting a full 8mbs for only £13.99 a month.

I left Metronet as soon as the merger with PlusNet was announced.

Now I'm with NewNet (http://www.newnet.co.uk/) - absolutely brilliant service!

Hope this helps,

Mark

8m broadband adsl from bulldog.... means you have to change to their phone service... but thats done at the exchange so you wouldnt notice. Some people had problems with them earlier, but it seems perfectly stable these days. No frills with them if you have your own modem etc

I'm going with Zen 8000 active - a bit more expensive than some, but I'm a bit suspicious of some of the cheaper ISPs. A lot of them are oversubscribed. Also, Zen seem to get rated highly on adslguide.org.uk.
