Been with AOL for years now and found them very good and also very fast, for the last 6 months plus i`ve been having loads of connection problems so i think i`m gonna change, any recommendations? top speed costs me £9.99 a month so i don`t really want to pay any more, has anyone got sky broadband?

I am with Sky now after having a load of trouble with Orange

Great thanx for the tip off.

I am with BT .... I have BT phone, Internet and BT vision.

Never had a problem. BT vision box was FREE, and I can't live without it now. :D:D

Fine up to now and hope it stays that way:eek:

Im with sky for my broadband and had a few problems at first but after speaking to one of their internet guys and changing the channel on my router its worked perfectly since (my cordless phone was on the same channel as the router apparantly) and for £5 a month, bargain!

Weve had Aol for years! And have never had a problem! We have sky so thought this year why not have a change because it was cheaper and go for sky broadband. So we did , and it was the worse thing ever, wouldnt work etc , sky telling us it would take weeks to sort out , so we moved back to aol and everythings fine again and no problems :)

I was with AOL for years and they robbed me blind (was paying 30 odd quid a month, when it should have been half the price). Got annoyed and swapped to O2. Absolutely fantasic. Have the same speed for £10 per month and 100 free txts a day off the pc. Everytime I've rung with an issue (for the initial month, my connection kept dropping) so they changed the volume (or summat), not had any problems for ages

well i'm with BT, have been for nearly 2 years, i started off paying £8.99 for the first 6 months(which is only 2 bills) then it went upto £17.99 a month and after twelve months because i took out another contract with them i'm now paying £14.99 a month, yeah i know its more expensive than aohell BUT i get a payment card and i tend to pay off at least £100 before my bill is actually due (broadband and phone that is) and thats just how i like it

I was with AOL for my first three years online. I thought that virus's etc were normal until I read somewhere that AOL are reportedly allowing many 'tame' viruses and spyware etc to pass through in order to push their (and Microsoft) packages for correction. How much of that is true I don't know but since I have been with Virgin I have had nowt of the sort despite using the PC for the same sort of programmes as before.

BTW Virgin is slow and their email system is kakka. And they put they prices up 1o months in rather than the standard 12. Changing to SKY in a couple of weeks as 16MB was teh same price as I pay for 4MB on VIRGIN and 2MB (originally) on AOL.

Been wth AOL, NEVER again, it almost wrecked my PC when I came to unistall all the rubbish that came with it.

Wanadoo as they where (Orange), they where also Rubbish.

I pay Extra and more than most to be with BT BUT I like online gaming and BT have been brilliant connection wise, and with the Bt Hub I even allow my 2 neighbours to share the connection.

Its all down to what you want from your connection if its just a bit of net surfing Talk talk seems OK, and its free. If your a hardcore user you get what you pay for.

Plus who controls the phone lines (if not on cable) BT.;)

I am with Sky after having a hell of a time with Orange. Had a few problems at the start but it seems to have settled down now(fingers crossed).

Honestly guys, have a look at O2.

I know theyre pretty new at all this, but I really cannot fault them. Love their honesty as well, I asked for the highest possible connection, but they have a best value policy, and as they couldnt guarentee I would get the highest speed (24mb i think), they gave signed me up to 12mb. Currently get around 14mb speed so for once, more than I pay for

Mrs Macca has just spent half the afternoon on to Virgin tryign to cancel ours. They did the usual and offered us about £20 a month of what we pay (broadband, phone etc) Why dont they just do that anyway?

Anyroad, the upshot was that Mrs Macca said give me half an hour to look into what you have just offered and I'll come back to you.

So half hour later she rings them up and tells the nice as pie woman to shove her offer up her arse as it was still more than Sky were offering and was only 4mb broadband instead of 16mb. Not very nice as pie woman then said tough, you've already agreed to the twelve month contract (hadn't) and Sky cant offer you 24mb in Accrington cos 4mb is the max!!!!!!!! Mrs Macca then tells pie woman to shove it and BT have been informed to re-re-connect (Virgin cancelled the orignal request to re-connect) the BT line. Mr Macca (me) comes home and promptly rings Pie woman telling her that I know where she lives and I'll come and disconnect her if she doesn't cancel the 'agreement' pronto.

I hate the lies they tell when trying to fob you off. I could understand it if it was Branson pickle on the other end cos its his money, but these stuck up little Hitlers act as though its a personal insult to them. Top and bottom of it is that I am too lazy to have acted on the prices having gone up, and up, and up beyond what we were paying last year when we switched to save money. I hate Virgin email cos its cack, Virgin broadband is vergin' on going backwards its that slow but I'd have stayed wi'em cos I'm lazy. But they fecked about with the prices too much and Mrs Macca took the hump. If they'd have offered us discounts before we said we were leaving then we'd have took em and carted on for another 12 months. But they didn't so bye bye Virgin!

and AOL will never enter my computer ever again other than my one free email address that I still use. There email system is good I'll give em that

Hope you have better luck than I had trying to get Orange to clear the line maccawozzagod, it seems these companies will do anything but make life easier for their customers. I am now with Sky it is far cheaper
