Hello Columbo,
A bit of a different approach to all the replies you have had so far. Have you considered cable broadband? Speeds with Virgin Media (and formerly with Blueyonder) have always been very good (less so since the take over but still good). Maybe it might be worth considering?

| I am with Eclipse at the moment, £14.99 for 8mb (we get 7mb) per month. Had a couple of problems which were sorted out by their UK call centre in a very quick and efficient manner.
I was with NTL before they became Virgin and we had a lot of trouble with them and their modem. We were even told by their foriegn call centre chappie that he had bluetoothed the modem!
They really did turn into an absolute shower 
When we told NTL we were going to leave they asked what the reason was to which we answered that the modem was faulty. Only then after many months of complaining did they offer to change the said modem. Needless to say we turned them down.
I cannot recomend Eclipse highly enough - excellent service and excellent support.
Some people are like slinkies, completely useless!
but I always smile when I see one fall down the stairs!

| I would love to get cable but it is not supported in my area, like every other good deal out there. I am limited to BT or Tiscali (as they are the only other ISP on my exchange) BT were diabolical when it comes to high users (no problems other than that) so I have had to swich to Tiscali for now (same package, less restrictions and 8.49 for 3 months then £14.99 I have been paying BT 24.99). got my date and all working ok, on current router atm but got thier wirless router today so no problems so far. Although I got an email from BT today thanking me for signing up to option 2 £22.99 broadband today????? I went mad as no-one in my house has even rang them. Fun Fun!!! Columbo

Columbo, have you also got your phone package with Tiscali? I pay £19.99 a month to Tiscali which includes broadband max, phone line rental, and free off-peak calls. I don't have to pay as much as an halfpenny to BT.

If you're considering Be, then check the offers on O2 when your exchange becomes enabled. As they own Be they offer similar packages, though at the mo they are cheaper than Be and offer free connection. These are time limited offers, but they may renew them after they lapse.
