There are now tens of broadband service providers out there. It's very complicated to compare as many have different price bands depending how many services you take with that company. | |

It's very difficult to answer that one. I have used several and none are particularly brilliant. It depends if its business or home and how much you are willing to pay. Most fall down on customer service. I have experience of Blueyonder, Tiscali, BT, Easynet, and a couple of other small ones. A good one for business is Nildram. I have never heard anything bad about them from users but they are more expensive than some. | |

If Virgin trains is anything to go by I doubt it. I noticed last night that the bootup logo had changed to Virgin on my PACE Telewest box.

As an ISP ourselves, I'll try and be as objective as possible. | |

I have been with a company called Zen Internet for some time now, they are probably one of the most expensive ones around but very reliable. They have won many awards for quality of service. www.zen.co.uk

NTL, sorry Virgin Media, are fine when things are ok but when they go wrong... you can spend a long time waiting for support, which is usually 'switch the box back off and back on again'! | |

October's "Which?" magazine placed Broadband/Phone packages in this order if that helps? | |

Thanks for posting that list Nigel... I'm on Virgin Media so that doesn't look too healthy does it | |

Can't remember what percentage of each ISP's customers they questioned, but the table was showing customer satisfaction. There as always were diffences in the package, price etc but I don't think that factored into the results.

It would be interesting to see how closely together they were all ranked for customer satisfaction - generally I would imagine most people rank themselves as reasonably unsatisifed to reasonably satisfied, though perhaps there are a few "extremely satisfied" customers out there! | |

I find Virgin not too bad... the problems come when the connection drops, basically all you can do is sit and wait it out (you can't really read the updates posted on the website when you can't connect to it after all!)
