Had quite a lot of email conversations with friends last night over ISP's.
It would appear that I am not getting the best of deals with British
Telecom for Telephone and Broadband connections

It seems Virgin, TalkTalk and Tiscalli are better.

Any comments anyone?

Anyone done a survey? Would I be better to change my ISP?

Don't know about Virgin but I know people with TT and Tiscalli
and they seem to be total rubbish and very unreliable.

I started off with Freeserve who changed to Wannado and has now
become Orange, although they are not the cheapest ISP in the world
I have been very satisfied with them for about 15 years with no problems
at all.
Worth thinking about and paying the little bit extra.

Anyone thinking of changing their broadband supplier needs to read this
web page. http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ They are an absolute fount
of information and can tell you anything you want to know about the ISP
of your chooice.
I would certainly warn anyone off using Tiscali. They are bad news.
