I'll be moving back to Norwich this weekend and one of the first things on my to-do list is broadband.
So, I'm looking for recommendations on wires only packages - I'm not particularly bothered about static/dynamic IP's although price might be a factor in the decision. Who do you recommend/wouldn't want to touch with a barge pole?
Cheers, Nick
ps. I'll also be attending the Norwich meetings from now on!
I have been with Plusnet for a while now, http://www.plus.net/
Far better service than my previous provider (BT Openworld) no port blocking (although some automated system kicks in when you start portscanning other hosts) Fixed IP,Webmail, Full Newsgroup access, Nice secondary options on Webhosting, fax to email etc, catchall domain and smtp forwarding if you want it.
They seem completely unbothered about what you actually do with your connection, I've had all sorts of services running from mine, had it maxed out for days. Never been an issue.
No complaints so far, have never needed support so can't comment much on that.
Also if you plan to be an infrequent user, then I have heard good things about Metronet http://www.metronet.co.uk, they charge £10 a month for up to 200MB transfer, then £0.0025 a meg afterwards, the charge is capped at £23.99 but not the service, seems like a really good deal to me.
Who wouldn't I touch ?...Freeserve/Wannado at the moment, service is rubbish, support even more so.
