Another ISP Question...

[tvradict]

I was looking at www.adslguide.org and noticed Demon listed. I used them before I had BB installed and was impressed by them, but went to Pipex for my BB connection. I thought Demon disappeared but I notice they are now a brand of Thus, which I believe was Scottish Telecom (How complicated can they make it?!?!)

Anyone use them for Home connection? They seem to be very business focused, but offer an 8Mb (6.5 for me, my line doesn't support 8 at the moment) unlimited, unmetered connection for £20 a month. Which is good. Any comments on them? Good or Bad.

Was really keen on Tiscali for a while but I've heard a few horror stories over the last few days so I wont be using them.

Anyone got any other ISP they would like to recommend?

TIA
Stuart.

Used Demon for many years at home, and my parents continued using it when I moved out. We have never had a single problem with it. The speed was great, 99.9% reliable and support were great. Pipex on the otherhand, have given me nothing but hassle. Avoid Pipex.

Personally I'd recommend Nildram.
Good support, perhaps not the absolute fastest provider but the connection never died and I don't belive they run transparent proxies either.

ISPs are like PC manufacturers; name one and you can find one person who thinks they're the bext thing since sliced bread and another who wouldn't touch them with a sh*tty stick.

I've been a Demon customer for probably pushing 20 years, and they're OK. I'm probably going to drop them one of these days since they don't deliver SMTP mail over broadband and I hardly ever use my Demon email address any more. I presently also have a "wires only" broadband deal from Tiscali (through work) who I wouldn't personally choose, since their Usenet servers are slower than a slow thing on National Slow Day, and their DNS servers aren't exactly paragaons of reliability, neither of which matter when it comes to establishing a VPN into the office, for which they've been 101%.
