ISP Reviews by Pale Rider 17

Originally with ADSL24, which in its day was excellent, but the company was bought and sold several times and things deteriorated. CloudScape had good reviews and good prices, so signed up for 40/10 FTTC. Also abandoned BT for landline/line rental. BT didn't like that, let me know that swapping providers was likely to result in massive problems, that I should reconsider. All baloney as it's exactly the same OpenReach line. Good to be rid of them.

So far three things make CloudScape Connect an excellent ISP.

1: Great service. You pick up the phone and talk to people who make sure you get the service promised. I had a slight problem with speeds at the beginning, but Kevin sorted it all out himself. You don't get that at BT, Sky, TalkTalk, Plus Net. This is quality service and I'm now running at 37-38mbps down and 8.50-9.50mbps up.

2: BT are now charging £18.50 a month for line rental to finance their football. CloudScape charge £12.50 and for £6 you can add 750 minutes. So it's not just a better service, it's a lower price, too.

3: £20 (inc VAT) for 40/10 FTTC? You can't find a better deal from a reliable company. I'm paying £2 more than I was at Coms for an infinitely better connection. In total, £38.50 for FTTC, line rental and 750 minutes, and if you go for both, the FTTC connection fee is half price. I'm now paying £5 less than I was before and getting better service and faster speeds.

Which makes it all a bit of a no brainer...
