Looking at changing my internet provider at home and need some advice.
I remember seeing in the past that people have had issues accessing this site and possibly other shooting sites. Which ISP's were involved and what were the issues. Thanls in advance. |

Zen Zen Zen and in two days time (12th) they are increasing my speed up to a possible 20mb/s from the current 7.5ish (although that work is probably more to do with a BT Openreach upgrade rather than Zen......)  Fiber optic lines being installed all over the country. I'm getting an upgrade to similar speeds also in the next couple of weeks. Would have got it sooner if it weren't for the neighbors damn tree damaging the line. |

With Zen now and have been for 7 years, as Nick said, not cheap, but very good.... looking at switching to PlusNet shortly as their deal and T & C's are very similar...
ETA: Nick... you asked me something movie related this weekend and I forgot what it was? Please drop me a PM |

Talktalk, been with them for years now, never had a single problem with them, .... yet just wait til you get a line problem. I was with TalkTalk and the line became very noisy, I was only able to download at just over dial-up speeds. Spoke to TalkTalk who said it was BT's line and their probelm, talk to them. Spoke to BT who said the line is leased from them by TalkTalk who have installed their own equipment in the exchange so go speak to them. In the end nothing got done. I changed to BT and I had a new line installed (cheaper than the call-out and fix fees) and now I have no problems. |

I changed to BT and I had a new line installed (cheaper than the call-out and fix fees) and now I have no problems. I used to be with TalkTalk. Will never recommend them to anyone. Slow speeds, unreliable connection, unfair bandwidth throttling and crappy lines. Not to mention the customer service is cack. Took about three months to switch providers due to them refusing to give BT the code needed to switch lines back, then months after we get a load of bills saying we're still with them and owe them money. They absolutely refused to accept that we had stopped using them despite us showing them the numerous letters stating otherwise. Eventually we just started ignoring them until one day a debt collector shows up at our door demanding money, that was until we showed him all the letters we had saying that we had switched providers over 9 months ago. Never heard from TalkTalk again after that. |
