I'm with Utility Warehouse (www.utilitywarehouse.co.uk) Mainly because there still one of the few who do Unlimited broadband, and reliable.

I have been using Tiscali Broadband 1MB Unlimited for the last six months, and never had a problem.Use Pipex at work and they seem to be on the ball.

I'm on 2mb unlimited from tiscali at £17:99 p/m. I actually get 2.3mb but i cant explain why :? .
I find their advertising slows things down on initial connection, but soon as i leave the home page and go onto other sites....its fine, pretty quick.
Cant comment if Tiscali are the best as ive only ever been on this and BT (which was pooh).

Tiscali arent actually unlimited, even though they say they are.  They have whats known as a fair usage policy, if you breach this then they limit your line during peak hours.  Admittedly when it was pointed out that it wasnt unlimited they did let us migrate.

Now i am with AOL, i dont use their software and connect through me modem and use Firefox and stuff, and i cant fault it, its one of the few companies that still do totally unlimited broadband and it hasnt caused me bother once!

Im on tiscali. Only had 1 problem when email wouldnt connect, tried again 1 hour later and everything OK.

I do notice however that it does not seem to be as fast as I expected. Some of the videos on here take ages to load :cry:

Make that 4 I had a problem with tiscali - they asked for new card details as card was due to expire- I gave them before specified date & they cancelled my account blamed BT & told me it would take 10 days to re-instate so I looked about & went to Demon had no problems with them :)

im on tiscali 2.2 Mbps only thing i dont like is the e-mail set up, not much memory, if you get a lot of e-mails it fills up pretty quick. also if you are working on you computer it doesn't tell you you have mail aol does,apart from that hunky-dory...

Pipex 2meg unlimited.

pipex solo
