"we attempted to pick providers that have shown a reasonably consistent performance and reliability over the past 12 months"

gold star General Commendations:

The ISPs we’ve listed above are of our own personal choice, though there are many other providers worth considering too. Readers are urged to check out our ‘Top 10 Reader Reviewed ISPs’ page and the ‘Reader ISP Reviews’ section in general for further options. However if you can’t find the time to do that then consider some of these as well:

TalkTalk

XILO

PlusNet

Namesco

NewNet

The pricing and recommendations of this article are only valid for the date published. ISP quality and performance can change like the wind; though we attempted to pick providers that have shown a reasonably consistent performance and reliability over the past 12 months. Be aware that there is no such thing as perfection and experiences can differ, especially with broadband being a shared “best efforts” service.

Those newer to broadband should check out our ‘Choosing an ADSL ISP’ guide (works for other types of broadband too), which covers some of the common pitfalls and hidden nasty’s. We also have a ‘Broadband ADSL Connection Tips’ guide to help when diagnosing ADSL / ADSL2+ related connectivity and performance problems with your service (not valid for Virgin Media’s cable platform).

Getting massive packet-loss with Virgin Media cable connection. They seem incapable of fixing it.

BT may be good when it's working but I transferred to BT before Christmas and I still have a broadband service which works only occasionally - like now! - ie when I'm lucky! Just not good enough!
I regret having changed provider. Be warned. Deals are only worth having if the service actually works.

MIKE, a vISP is a "Virtual Internet Service Provider"; they resell the services of other ISPs, branded as their own. Not a problem, as long as the originating ISP does a good job. A lot of smaller providers are actually vISPs.

vISP means Virtual Internet Service Provider, as in not an independent ISP/does not own its own network/backbone and or one that effectively resells another suppliers products but has less control over how those packages are structured.
