"We would expect that any modern ISP should be able to respond within one working day (24 hours)"

NOTE: We did not score based on hours due to the inherent unreliability of hour/minute email timings. However, where ISPs tied with the same score then the one that reached our inbox first should appear higher up.

Summary of results

We would expect that any modern ISP should be able to respond within one working day (24 hours), hence the test began on a Monday morning. Note that we would have liked to test more providers but it quickly became too time consuming, thus we ended up testing 19 instead of our goal of 25.
