PaulCabby Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 (edited) I'm in need to change me ISP. AOL has served me alright so far (apart from the complete unreliabilty of the connection). My needs are: 1. A RELIABLE connection. 2. Cheapish (?15 to ?25) 3. Not Cable, should use BT phoneline (For teh MAC code thing:):)) 4. 2-8mbit download (with a decent upload (above 256kbps but not needed) 5. A RELIABLE connection. 6. Should work on a Ma:p:p 7. Another one. No extra phone call bundling crap. I've looked at Zen Internet, Be, Eclipse and Pipex, Bulldog Should I be going for one of those choices or should i look at a different company? Atm I'm leaning towards Bulldog but I've heard that they are extremely unreliable, can anyone else comfirm it? Thanks x-x-x Edited June 3, 2006 by PaulCabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot B. Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Why not Telewest again? I'm sure they use MAC address too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhav Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I've heard great things about Be. Eclipse are supposed to be great as well, but they've been having serious problems with their traffic management. Pipex are expensive...you pay ~?28 for an 8Mb service that has an acceptable usage policy. For ?24, the same price as Be, Zen offer 8Mb but with a 20GB hard cap. Stay well clear of Bulldog - they are a disaster. So I would recommend Be - up to 24Mb (depending on line), up to 1.3Mb upload, and truly unlimited. And a fantastic price of ?24.
