What ISP do you use?

[thederkinsdame]

This should probably be in techie stuff, but is more relevent to those working at home. If you mainly work remotely via e-mail and t'internet, which ISP do you use for business purposes? My ISP is doing my head in as they are so unreliable. My connection is down every week, which costs me valuable working time and can delay me receiving and sending work to and from clients. My Dh reckons Zen or BT's Business would be best. Does anyone have any experience of either? I want this move to be final as it is a pain telling everone and I will also need to get new business cards printed!

TIA for your help.

Have a look at this site

I used to work in industry and they will all be very similar BUT you must get a business product. You pay for service quality.

Also you shouldn't need to change your business email address if you have your own domain name. If you don't have one - get one - they are only cheap and will mean you can transfer if you transfer ISPs in the future.

Thank you GPAC that's really useful I am a complete technophobe so need all the help I can get!

We just switched from Andrews and Arnolds to BE. Not sure on the exact details but both were business products and both providers very reliable.

They gave lots of notice for planned outages, and when there were unplanned outages for A&A (none for BE yet) they gave text updates and you could also get updates via other means, which I felt was very useful.

I agree that you should buy a domain name and just be done with it, makes life a lot easier with email addresses.
