The message 200502151431.29138.alug@sarvasiddhi.ukfsn.org from allan miller alug@sarvasiddhi.ukfsn.org contains these words:
Well, my broadband connection has not been working now for 3 weeks and I have decided that I should look at changing ISPs even though I would like to support UKFSN because of its support for free software and Linux. I think one of the problems is that UKFSN is too far down the 'food chain' so that when things go wrong there are these layers above that have to be negotiated.
My 'current' connection is 256/512 uncapped with dynamic IP for £21.50/month. So I just need something similar.
Does anybody recommend anyone?
Zetnet, with no qualms. One of the directors is a Debian developer, too.
Have a look at www.zetnet.com
Zetnet's the oldest independent ISP in Britain, established in Lerwick ten years ago. Closed (to non-Zetnuts) newsgroups, child-friendly policy, Littlehat Proxy server and under-18 newsgroup list for anklebiters, supports Win, Linux, Risc OS, and ISTR BBC and others have been/are being used.
If you can send it via the internet, I'd wager it works on Zet. As another testimonial, I've been with them about nine years now, and never found the need for a second ISP.
