Well seeing as the main dealer has b*lls up what should be a simple job, I feel like Im on a bit of a (downwards) roll at the moment.
About a year ago, I got brassed off with tiscali's poor service. Since this was an LLU, I had to pay a line cease and reconnect charge of about 50 quid and was without BB for a week. I migrated to IDNet but the speed they delivered was slower than tiscali and too expensive for the download limit.
I next migrated to ADSL24 Enta. 19 quid a month for the 30 gig download. My speed went up to 6 meg and had no issue. Then, ADSL24 migrated everyone from the Enta service to a new supplier, Murphx, who were supposed to be better.
They werent. Speed dropped a meg to just over 5meg. Then from 12 April, I started getting frequent disconnects which in turn, drove my profile into the toilet. Im now getting 1.3meg speed. raising tickets does nothing to resolve the problem so I've had enough.
I need to find another quality ISP to provide broadband. I dont really want an LLU service as it gets expensive when you want to migrate away, often needing to pay a line cease and reconnect charge. Im not too keen on long contracts although having done some research, it looks like I may have to consider a 12 month contract as an option.
The famous 'up to nnmeg' download speed etc doesnt impress me much. IMO there's only very limited circumstances you'll get anywhere near that. The best speed I've had out of my line was just over 6meg. Download wise, I need something that will give 30gig download in a month.
What's everyone's recommendations for alternative ISP's?
Thanks
