Does anybody have any recommendations or warnings about ADSL ISPs in the UK? I will also need (perhaps as part of the package) a mail address.
I'm with Pipex (www.xtreme.pipex.net) and use a Netgear router, service is good, and they don't stop in-bound traffic, which is good as I host a web server on it. They also seem pretty cool about Linux users, although they don't explicitly support Linux. You get a mail address from them as well. The price is also very good, IIRC it's still under 25 quid per month, including VAT for the 512/256 service, and not a lot more for the 1024/256 service. Static IPs are available at a small additional cost I think, although as an early adopter, I have what they call a 'sticky' IP, which means that strictly speaking it's dynamic, but hardly ever changes (in the 2 years I've been with them, it's changed once - when they changed the network block they were allocated from). -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 9.0) GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org
