Eclipse Internet, who I am with, regularly recieve awards for the high quality of their ADSL broadband services. The features of the packages are excellent and they are both reliable and secure, while still cheaper than BT or AOhelL.

If you want a really cheap ADSL ISP, Pipex offer a decent service at a very good price.

You could also consider cable ISPs such as NTL or Telewest.

you make Pipex sound like a second-rate piece of crap isp..

pipex are arguably better than eclipse (what's the binary newsgroup support like on eclipse?)

i'd give up 3kbps for 35000 newsgroups, 99.9% completion and 5 days retention

Look into it in detail, you'll find it's actually £20.83 per month for a 1 year contract, or £28 per month for a six month contract. It only drops to £16.66 per month if you commit yourself to a 2 year contract, paid up front. Are you sure THEY are still going to be around in 2 years time?

Plus you have to pay for the modem.

Maybe not such a great deal.
