Y'know, I signed up with Wanadoo a couple of months ago and, despite a few teething problems (they forgot to send me a modem, but then made up for it by sending me two! Though I decided it was crap and picked up a half-decent router from OSB) I've received absolutely flawless service. The speed is consistently very close to the advertised half Mbps and it's only £18 or summat a month.
Alright they're going to cap traffic to 2Gb/mo at some point but I only seem to be using about 1.5Gb in total anyway. I notice also that they've just upped the speed so all packages (for the same price) now have 1Mb pipes. Meh, I have to pay £20 to upgrade. You're just in time though.
I suppose other people's mileage may vary with them.
The one caveat is that their support lines are f0rking useless. Everything was easy enough to set up though so I had no need to speak to "technical" support.

I know this topic comes up every few months but what dsl providers would you lot recommend. Id like to find a nice balance between cost (£25 or so a month) freebies, (a router would be a lovely although somewhat unrealistic target) and reasonable speeds.
