Well, I'm with BT so there! OK, the download speed is not sparkling at 6.7Mb max, but that's more than enough for what I need.
Billing's been a dream as well as reliability. Up until a fortnight ago, I'd have said that the Indian call centre was a downer due to the way they keep to scripts, but having phoned the support team up, with little expectation, to set up evolution, to be greeted with: - Are you using Outlook? - No, I'm trying to set up my Linux installation - Ah, in that case you'll need .... and proceeded to supply me with all the relevant information including extra bits and pieces I didn't need like port numbers for the servers etc, I'm now quite impressed. Anyone else had a similar experience with a main stream ISP who apparently was an MS house?

Very few problems, once we've got our lines up, and their support guys don't seem to be mortally afraid of Linux, which is nice... We get a line glitch and bad ping times now and then. That and we had to shout at them till they put port 1194 into "gold" status (they use stuff to crunch p2p traffic during the working day...)
