ISP Reviews by Cocca

First of all, I'm a Network Engineer.

I've had 3 ISPs in the last 12 years. Pipex, Be, and SKY
Pipex were great. Until they got bought out.
Be were brilliant, right up until I left looking for a cheaper deal
Sky? Sheesh, absolute nightmare.

two week long outages with me doing all the chasing for updates/progress
Unsteady line and long outages. I don't think it's ever been up for 24hrs without a break.
Apparently it's always Openreach to blame, which is odd because Be was down only twice in the wee hours, in the entire 4 years I was with them.
No offer of compensation when I told them I couldn't work from home.

Absolute worst ISP I have ever been with.
I strongly recommend you think twice.
What's cheap isn't good and what's good isn't cheap.
I'm moving back to Be at the end of the month.

As a Networking company we used several different ISP's. Some that we have chosen, others that the client has chosen.
You will not find a worse ISP in the UK. Cheap? yes, no doubt, but you WILL pay elsewhere.
We had a chain of hotel clients that were under Daisy. Most had bonded lines; one with one ISP, the other with Daisy.
All the Daisy lines had faults. PRTG was off the wall constanly warning about down time.
Try and raise it with Daisy and you're wasting your time.
It's the router, it's the filter, it's the RJ11, it's the line.
Get the line checked, replace the router, etc...no, still the router, still the line.
They keep this up until you just give up.

I've just spent a week compiling a comprehensive report to our IT Director about Daisy and I'm pleased to say that we're migrating away from Daisy.

Thank god! for gods sake, do not touch these cowboys.
