You seem to want the moon on a stick there.

I use Nildram and have absolutely great service from them.

Dont factor in the cost of the modem its a misnoma.

They are only £50 or so just look for one with free connection at under £20 a month uncapped.

Another vote for Pipex. Have used them for years with no problems.

Maybe not the cheapest these days, but have always been very good. I've set up ADSL at four or five locations now and each time everything has run smoothly (and has been up and working ahead of schedule).

Agreed. Plus the free modems are mostly shite and ALL are USB. Just get the best deal on all the other stuff and get the modem of your choice from dabs or wherever.

Being a lazy bugger I opted for BT Broadband when I upgraded about a year ago. At the time it was a little expensive but I have recently been upgraded free from 512k to 2 meg. As a bonus, the price has also dropped by about £4 a month since I signed up. I have found it reliable and stable, though slightly slow on occassion.

But the thing with Homecall is you get free phone calls as well. Not many people do that.

I recently switched to Homecall from Talk Talk who kicked me off for "degrading network performance" on their "unlimited" service, knob eds.

Having said that Homecall also have a excess usage clause in their T&C's but I'll not cane it as much this time.

Don't believe talktalk unlimited claims several people on here been kicked off for too much use.

They also failed to respond to migration request to pipex until I no longer had a connection with them (about 1 month). So pipex had to cancel my order, now with Virgin until I decide where to go permanently.

FreeNetName do 2Mb BB for £18.00 /month incl VAT. Limit is 2Gb but £2 per gig thereafter. Free USB Modem or buy upgrade, Free connection, Free Web Hosting, Free .co.uk or .org.uk domain.

Free calls on these offers are usually backed up with a 5p connection charge or worse still a limit (like BT) that you go back to paying per minute after an hour or something.

Much better to use someone like call1899 or call18866 for phone calls (18866 has 0p/min national calls and 2p connection charge) and then choose the best bb supplier without falling for the calls gimick.
