Cheers, Alexis

Why?
And is AA the full name? I haven't heard of them.
Cheers, Alexis

A lot of people I have spoken to recommend those ISP. If you check their customer service on adslguide.org.uk (I think it is around there). You will notice they are very helpful. Same goes for AA.
Mind you, the coolest thing about AA is that they txt you if they are having service problems. Useful if you are at work, somewhere in the UK etc.

Andrew and Arnolds.

That is neat.
Metronet seem interesting actually... there's been a bit of a furor here over NTL's bandwidth cap, which is fair enough really. MetroNet have gone the other way - rather than penalise you if you exceed ~6Gbpcm, they charge you less if you don't. So if you go away for a month, you'll only pay ten squid! Capped at 24, so it won't spiral out of control.
Cheers, Alexis

Look at Nildram's special 1mb adsl offering. 150gig limit a month. Which is around 5 gig a day though. Reports that people don't actually reach that mark at all (straight from nildram's mouth).
Only 40ukp a month... so it is worth considering....

That's pretty good, yes... used to be that 512/256 was �50! And people called that cheap!
5GB/day... that's complete Debian ISOs every day (600*7=4200MB) leaving 800MB. Minus 8 hours of MP3s (480MB), you still have 320MB for reading Slashdot. Oh well, I guess it had to give somewhere...

Good thing with that offer is that you can try it out for a month at least.
