Hi,
Firstly I am new to the forum, so if I have done something which is against the rules please let me know.
I have been with Tiscali Broadband for the last few years now and we really need to end business with them as they are terrible.
We live a long way from the exchange (3km approx.) so I know we wont get a mega-fast speed, but I would like a connection that remains constant and does not die on me as soon as it starts to rain!
I have been surfing the net, reading reviews etc. and from what I gather an ISP may be better suited to you depending on where you live etc.
So what do I need to consider when looking to change ISP? I do not want to have the same experience as I have had with Tiscali. (Main considerations)
From what I have seen it looks like these are the best ISP's:
02
Be
Zen
What other ISP's are widely considered to be good?
I also understand that BT wholesale re-sellers are the ones that need to be avoided, is this correct?
Note: I cannot access cable so it looks like ADSL is the only route, are there any other mediums you could suggest because I know it is v. unlikely that we will be able to get even a 1mb ADSL connection? I heard sattellite is just expensive and the speeds are not even that great, and mobile broadband is only good for light browsers, I am a heavy user.
