broadband
Wireless:
Yeah, I'm in the unusual position of using a BTopenworld Account for email, and having my Broadband via Demon, this last little trick from BT stuffed up my email starting from a few days ago, not helped by my having a proxy email service elsewhere as the return route for some mail, which BT just binned, including all my business mail from the US.
I'm afraid this anti-spam crap, without any warning to account holders, has driven the last nail into my relationship with BT, just got to sort out the email with Demon and I'll just bin BT.
I don't know why I left Demon years ago, they were good back then on dial up.

Does anyone knoe if Greenbee are any good for phone and Broadband?
I want to ditch BT for phone line rental and although I like PlusNet (my ISP) they are new owned by BT so therefore Id like to drop them.

They even do Fixed IP so they seem reasonably savvy.
Wireless:
Sorry, never heard of them before.
I tend to steer clear of the new start up ISP companies as they tend to either sell themselves out (anyone remember Screaming.Net?), or fold like e7even.com after they've taken your subscription in advance.
The big companies buy them out and then gradually change the terms and conditions so that you're 'integrated' as one of their clone customers, some people don't notice and the ISP revenues increase, others move on, recognising whats about to happen.
I'm now back with a stable Demon ISP, and might pay a little bit more than most, but Customer Service is second to none, you get what you pay for, as always.

will give you a clearer picture of whats currently on offer
i found O2 to be better than most but i dont know how accurate it is
ie
10 people who use o2 are asked how good they are and 8 say good and 2 say no..
but
1000 virgin customers are asked and 200 say they are poo, even though the percentages are the same the amount is different, as i dont know anyone who uses o2
but loads who use virgin
andyw:
I will be going to O2 for broadband from the end of this month, the reason being is that they are the only people that have LLU services in my local exchange, and as I live in spitting distance from the exchange they say I should get around 18mbps.
Check out your local exchange for available ISP's. http://www.samknows.com/broadband/search.php
