Broadband in the UK

Here's some thoughts on which is the best provider:

Quote:

With such an array of choice in my area in the UK (Wokingham in Berkshire), it’s hard to make an actual choice. There’s even satellite internet service.
My inclination is to go for BT’s Option 3 deal which looks a very good one. They say they can have the connection up and running within four business days. Should I believe that, though? I hear from friends in the UK that this might be extremely optimistic.

In asking around, one name crops up constantly as a provider to avoid at all costs - NTL. Appalling customer service and support, I’m told. I’m heeding such advice so NTL is not on my shopping list. I’m actually discounting any cable service provider - no interest in getting cable TV - so my focus is on ADSL.

So my actual choices for internet connectivity look to be from amongst BT, Tiscali, AOL, Orange, Virgin.net, Pipex or TalkTalk.

I use BT and have never had a problem with the internet service!
I also use there phone aswell and have never had problems with the bills etc on either of the services!

I find that there are exceptions to every rule (including this one). But it's sometimes safer to go with the majority when it comes to things that involve service.

Like I said before Ive never had any problems with BT!
And I would never change the services even if the other person said its going to be cheaper as theres always a snag in it somewhere!
