hi, this is my first post so.... uh.... Hi!

anyway, i am having trouble finding an ISP, basic requirements, 8mb adslmax, unlimited usage, no blocked ports, no "F"UP. and not rediculously expensive. i was looking at AOL and BT buisness, but both of their about £30 packages have both gained a FUP it seems!

only two i have found now are http://www.fondoo.net/ and http://broadband.baptisttimes.co.uk/btadsl.html the former of which looks a little pricy, the latter of which looks like it might be quite a hassle opting out of their central firewall. anyone have any experience with either of these?

thanks in advance!

btw: i cant get cable, be, or bulldog unfortunatly

If I was gonna go for an ISP right now it would be http://www.bethere.co.uk just for the speed factor.

But since i'm stuck on a contract with http://www.pipex.co.uk so for the moment I wont be going anywhere. :( < They have been pretty good connection wise, hardly any disconnects in the past 3 months or so. Customer service is a bit ropey, but thats hardly surprising these days. Speed is crap but i'm pretty far from my local exchange. 1mb down and 512 up

You should also check out: http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ for further reading on the good the bad and the ugly of the ISPs in the UK.

Again unfortunatley I don't live in a cable area.. :(

If you've got sky then skybb is a good option.

They've got a fup but it must be set pretty high, i've not heard of anyone being pulled for it yet.
