I'm on AOL at the moment but...

[lardhelmet]

...Which magazine rates it the worst broadband provider of the lot. Any recommendations to which provider I should use when I change please?

[lardhelmet]

Yes - but only if I can wrestle the remote from OH. Why?

[silka]

I was just recommended plus net and I changed and I am very happy with it, cheap as well.

[lardhelmet]

Thank you boths

I agree with No Knowledge,it is free if you have Sky but be careful of the usage rules I am not sure how much this is,but I have gone over twice in two months and Sky did warn me so now I pay £5 extra instead of nothing for Sky Broadband.

[lardhelmet]

Thank you for your advice. I'll check it out.

Sky broadband isn't particularly well-rated in most reviews.

If you're prepared to pay a fairly high price for excellent quality, Claranet is possibly the best ISP. (Claranet provides mainly business services, with many major companies using it. It regularly comes out as the best ISP in independent reviews of business providers. The same service is available to home users but it's far from cheap):

Independent reviews of the 'big boys' providing home broadband services usually put BT at the top of the table. (Again, it's certainly not the cheapest option available):

Among budget providers, BE Broadband is usually well-rated. (Nearly all home services 'throttle' download speeds at certain times, or for certain types of traffic. BE Broadband is the only ISP which guarantees never to do so):

Have you had problems with AOL? I have to say I've used them for years and it's always been fine.

Escaped from Tiscali a month ago and nearly got snared by TalkTalk...but as Buenchico has already mentioned... I opted for BE

The speed increase is amazing... and It's not an ISP as we expect them to be...they are very helpful and get 10/ 10 from me..!

I was with AOL until a year ago when they hiked their prices. I then looked around and settled on O2 broadband. I am absolutely delighted with it. On the very few occasions I have used their free (UK based) helpline they have been excellent. My b/band deal is not part of a bundle; I have BT landline phone, Vodaphone mobile, Freeview telly. If you have an O2 mobile you can get a somewhat cheaper deal.
Check out their website! (www.o2.co.uk)

well, Which says Zen are the best as I recall, so why not try them? I've never heard of them myself but evidently Which users are happy with them.

Absolutely no problem with AOL.
