Re: [OT] New Boredband Provider ?

["Shaf Ali" <shaf@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the pointers Rob and Ian,

Looks like I might have to re-address whether or not I *really* do need a
2Meg line - Currently all I use it for is downloading DVDs off usenet....
Mind you it is very useful when you do need it in an emergency - Hmmm
ponders the question...

I did trial out the 4Meg connection and I definately do not need that -
Think I was downloading a DVD (4.5Gigs) in around 2.5 hours - and where is
the disk space to keep all the cr** thats been downloaded ? - let alone
wasting time on the dedicated *leech* machine.

Guess I dont have the time to have my cake and eat it too.

I can also recommend Zen http://www.zen.co.uk/ who have one the
ISPA 2005
awards for the 2Mb service and light business service.

Their Newsgroups are pretty complete and very fast, reliability is second
to
none!

Also they let you have up to 253 public IP addresses for a one of charge. I
have 16 addresses (13 usable + 1 for the router which cost me £50). Prices
are pretty much the same as Eclipse but they don't currently of the Flex
facility.

Not affiliated just a really happy customer.

R's
Ian

Eclipse are excellent and their news feeds have always seemed excellent to
me but I don't use them heavily. They have a free registration and hardware
offer on at the moment IIRC.
They have also just one the ISPA 2005 awards.

Many thanks,

Rob
