Recommend Me Some Broadband Providers

[famitsu1]

Hi,
finally after what seems like ages my local exchange down here in deepest darkest West Wales is being broadband enabled from April 6th.Basically I have no idea what provider to go with,I know BT is particularly expensive and has stingy limits so any info or recommendations on other providers would be most welcome.
I'am after a 1mb connection with unlimited DL'ing,cost is the main factor but close behind would be good customer service.
Cheers famitsu1

Pipex im on 1mb no limits and its ?24 per month (well 23.something)

Never had a problem with it so never had to call support !

I'm happy with Zen, reliable service.

Another Pipex vote here. They've always been reliable and speedy for me.

Really good ISP

I'm with Telewest, but I work for PlusNet.

Cable's always going to be more reliable than ADSL, but PlusNet are waaaaay cheaper. MaxDSL is on the way too, so by the end of the summer you'll be able to get up to 8Mb premier (with a fair usage threshold, but that'd honestly only bother you if you were leeching 24/7) from ?21.99.

PM me if you want honest "insider" advice

You've never come across Telewest in Birmingham have you

I'm thinking of changing my BB ISP but don't want to be held down to a 1 yr contract. Do any of the isp's mentioned have any contract ties?

[Ginger Tosser]

Zen is 1 month, goto the adsl website listed in my earlier post. They list all UK Adsl providers.

,cost is the main factor but close behind would be good customer service.

There's always the added bonus of getting to speak to me if you have problems, I'm always on the end of the Plusnet hotline......at least it feels that way sometimes
