    Regarding PlusNet

    I use them and the service has beend very reliable.

    However you may want to consider the following,
    [1] They sponsor the fowls
    [2] Customer service is shocking. Expect to wbe "on hold" for up to an hour (unless you ring a 2 o'clock in the morning).
    [3] Some customers have LLU'd onto the Tiscali network (rather than using BT's).
    [4] As with ALL broadband suppliers (including Zen), there are limitations on how much you can download - so make sure you select the CORRECT PACKAGE for your needs.

    HTH,
    Stephen

    Broadband

    Have been with Virgin for 3 years and no bother but am going to Sky as it is £15 cheaper for twice the speed.(16MB)

    Utilty warehouse discount club

    They have a good package, I have found it very reliable and you can save on other utilities too. Like the name says, it is a discount club and the more services you get the cheaper it becomes.Been with them 7 years now and get everything with them.

    Mobile and broadband

    If you are in the market for a mobile also, Orange is the best bet. I get My mobile (sony w810i) and 2mb broadband for £30 a month

    Mobile contract is 600 anytime xnet mins and 1100 texts a month (worth £30 alone!)

    With broadband you get a wireless livebox which is very simple to set up

    Great deal imo

    RE: A happy customer...

    Had no probs up to now, other than my livebox arriving with no set up cd but got a new one within the week.

    Ordering was slick, confirmation and switching on were quick, set up the livebox to connect wirelessly within about 5 mins.

    Obviously when I get in tonight it's all going to have gone tits up int it?
