Broadband & networking

just signed up with bulldog £25pm for 1mb in the evenings and weekends and 512 during the day. I've also bought a belkin wireless modem so no nasty wires :-)
 
I'm on t' BT Broadband and I don't have any problems. No restrictions on downloads either. So i'm milking music n stuff off Kazaa all night long. Tis a bit pricey at £29.99 but once you've tried broadband there's no going back.
 
we use Pipex extreme - we run 3 networked pc's and an xbox on xbox live (quite often at the same time) and no problems - weve been on ntl before we moved and find this a satisfactory alternative once we stopped crying over the loss of NTL cabling :)
 
cazzer have a look at pipex. they have good reviews and they r cheap also have a look at freedom to surf also cheap for broadband!
hope this helps
 
Haven't viewed other posts but i'm on Tiscali, around £10 per month phone line rental (BT) and £25.99 per month for 512kbs speed broadband with Tiscali. Easy to set up, network and it connects first time and never had any problems.

Like how you have to click connect too, so your computer is not always on. Once logged on, it never logs off until you make it.
 
My mum is on NTL but thinking of changing. Slow connections if it connects, TV keepgs going funny. NTL keep saying they are dealing with it but nothing changes!

As for removing their software, I installed my mums machine manually and connected it through their network card (Tried the usual NTL way too through USB port so know that nothing was wrong). Don't need their rubbish on the system then. Just log onto the 'start.ntl' page and register the computer that way.

Happy with Tiscali!
 
I've just changed from aol dial up to bt broadband, defo would never go aol again far too many pop ups and ads.i have also opted for wireless networking, we use 2 laptops and its great, infact i'm sat in bed right now!
will be trying next door later and if the signal is good enough i think my neighbour will be on broadband too...
 
Can anyone recommend Tiscali. Want to get broadband but at the same time not have to pay a lot for it, after looking into it that seems the cheapest. Thanks.
 
tiscali do have a cheap version but it is slower than from other providers. They're cheap package is only 3 times faster than dial up :-(
 
But the 'expensive' one (512k) seems faster than NTL 600k! That's because NTL are poor.
 
as I have said before in this thread I am with bulldog and they have been good for me so far. They even went through a period without charging me :D though they have sorted that now :( . Have you already signed up anyone? Cos if you haven't you can put me down as the referrer if you wish :D
 
Hiya.. I don't pay for my internet access. someone I do some work for does and they are the ones changing it over. There also going to be resellers so they want all staff on it. Thats the main reason for the change. I have been happy with btopenworld and not had problems in over 3 years (even when testing before general release). However I now get the benefit of a 1mb connection (from 500). Just a shame about the wait. this dialup business is doing my top in :(
