Tricky88 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Can anyone recommend a reliable isp ? Bt have sent the engineer this afternoon he left 1 hour later the connection crashed so ive had it with bt and i need a reliable isp
walker Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 dont go for AOL maybe ntl as I was with them and they were spot on maybe try virgin media or what ever there called
F2-Fan Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 I wouldn't touch virgin media aka ntl with a barge pole.
wrighty496 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 I wouldn't touch virgin media aka ntl with a barge pole. I've been with Pipex since 2003 m8....not the best prices or the super-duperest speeds but i've had about 3 outages in 3 years and 2 of them were my local exchange going bang.
Nick M48 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 I wouldn't touch virgin media aka ntl with a barge pole. Me neither, their service really went down hill towards the end of last year so ironically I swapped to BT, I must admit since being with BT I do lose my internet connection now and again which I didn't before with Virgin but at least my ping's are ok.
Tricky88 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Posted April 23, 2007 do you use mini / midi or max wrighty
theboss Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 I too use pipex (max, with phone bundle etc) and am getting regular speeds of between 5 and6, which is a vast improvement from 2mb on tesco.net. A few early teething probs but touchj wood sweet ever since.
Aub Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 well i use aol and ive never had any probs with it had it about 18 months now dont think ive ever discoed in a meeting plus if i recommed you 25 notes for me 25 notes for you everyones a winner
Tosh924 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Posted April 24, 2007 ive been with telewest blueyonder (virgin media) for nearly 2 years now, never had it disconnect once since iv had it, it has been perfect for online gaming and on here as well. very realible for me. 4mb for only 16 quid a month. used to have aol and it was for ever dis-connecting now and then.just depends where you are i think. hope this helps you.
Dino Posted April 24, 2007 Report Posted April 24, 2007 Unless you go for cable then reliability is going to be about the same for all providers,they all use bt's lines to get to your house and bt openreach engineers to repair any faults. Before you choose any isp check out the forums at think broadband.
Tricky88 Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Posted April 24, 2007 the only thing i cant understand dino is why this only happened when they upgraded me ? how can i get cable m8
F2-Fan Posted April 24, 2007 Report Posted April 24, 2007 If you can get virgin media then you can get cable, if there is no cable facility in your area then unfortunatly you can't.
Tricky88 Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Posted April 24, 2007 is cable that much better .... i checked and i can get it in my area
