Swapping from PlusNet to Zen

Hi Guys,

I have been with PlusNet since they started and on Broadband since April 2003. Over the last 3 months Plusnet seems slow in browsing, i am getting a lot of pages not found and the portal is painfully slow can take up to 60 secs to load a page And my pings are steadily rising. I cant get any sense from P/n CustSup or the user forums so i want to swap

Are Zen as good as every one says. I usually use Broadband for general browsing, Gaming and a bit of P2P, Would Zen fit the bill?.

I also have a Netger DG834V2 which i understand can cause problems with Zen with the NAT firewall.

Would the Zen active 8000 fit the bill. At the moment im on a 1 meg connection which is rock steady hardly ever drops but is slow in responding my line specs are

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 1152 kbps 288 kbps
Line Attenuation 61 db 15.5 db
Noise Margin 14 db 17 db
 
with an attenuation of 61 your gonna get nowhere near 8mb remember.

Granted onephat, I just want a decent ISP that will acknowledge when they have problems and a decent mail server that doesn't take ages to log on and dowload basic Emails. If you read the PlusNet Forums a whole load of people are complaing but i dont want to get into a slanging match.

As i said before im on a 1 meg connection which is rock steady hardly ever drops. So if even half a meg gain could be got i would be more than happy or a stable 1 meg would be as good.
