broadband and who is the best?

Who do people use here? Want to know all the pros and cons...

Also if you have broadband do you still need to keep your BT line with all providers. Had a look at wanadoo and wanted to get rid of the bt line and get our calls through a broadband provider, if that possible???

Janbo25 · 15/10/2005 11:27

the 2 fastest performers at the moment are Nildram and Pipex

munz · 15/10/2005 12:14

oooooooooh don't go with pipex - we were with them - overpriced and crap customer service if u ask me. (we were paying £35 for a 1mg connection with them utter rubbish)

zippitippitoes · 15/10/2005 12:16

Munz I just have broadband the phone is with BT

I think Pipex are more business orientated aren't they?

My Tiscali connection is actually business but it's on the consumer package which is cheaper

Have ukonline. Very fast and they have been very helpful the one time I needed them (main reason I chose them)

Don't know about getting rid of BT line though.

munz · 15/10/2005 12:39

we pay BT rental but apparently it's tiscali calls?? it's costing £14.99 per month for it.

Carameli · 15/10/2005 12:52

thnaks will look into all these. There are just so many out there that its so hard to know where to go???

basically the more well known ones the connection won't be quite as fast, where as nildram like i mentioned earlier is very fast and very efficient

RTKMonherBROOMSTICK · 15/10/2005 17:21

IME TISCALI are rubbish unless you like talking endlessly to INDIA and then them forgetting to return your calls

rummum · 15/10/2005 17:30

we're with wanadoo... I think we pay £14.99 a month and we are very pleased...

jessicaandbumpsmummy · 15/10/2005 18:03

just switched from wanadoo - hated them with a passion.

now with NTL and they are FANTASTIC. No problems whatsoever.

We have phone, TV and broadband for £30 a month

munz · 15/10/2005 18:04

jessicaandbumpsmummy · 15/10/2005 18:05
