The Best ADSL Service Providers was created by wildwalker
Hi everyone.<br/>
<br/>
I would like to ask you all a simple question. Who do you think is the best service provider for ADSL?<br/>
<br/>
I currently use BT, they cost me £29.99 a month and while I have no problems with their ADSL line, their administration has given me grey hairs.<br/>
<br/>
So if you use a provider other than BT and you think they rock
let me know.<br/>
<br/>
As a point of interest I play a lot of games so I am really interested in upload performace rather than my downspeed.<br/>
<br/>
Thanks All

I have tried Frontier Internet (good network but very expensive), BT and Plus Net.<br/>
<br/>
If u do not mind waiting for 40 mins for a support call then Plus Net are cheap and their network is quite good - BUT BT, despite the cat calls, have the money to keep thier network in good shape and their performance is second to none. I know their support is poor...but if u want great support then pay premium rates and use Frontier. <br/>
<br/>
I find that u pay for what u get in this business and overall BT offer good value for money.<br/>
<br/>
Hope this helps!

Ive been with Pipex for 4 months and not had a single problem, and not a single need to contact there technical support. I know this doesnt say how good their support is but it does say something for their network performance. I also get excellent ping rates playing games! For £23.44 a month its very reasonable too. And with no 12 month contract, just a £50 payment if you cancel within 12 months you not too commited. They have a lot to boast with, performance and network wise. Take a look at <URL url="http://www.pipex.com">www.pipex.com</URL>

Hi,<br/>
<br/>
I too have been with Pipex for about 6 months.<br/>
<br/>
They have had some press about their customer support being poor, but their service levels are very high.<br/>
<br/>
I would recommend them to anyone.<br/>
<br/>
If you want more info, have a look at <URL url="http://www.adslguide.org/"> http://www.adslguide.org/ </URL> as they have loads of info on ISP's, and also some comparisons of different ISP's.
