[anlabystreet 12]

tried orange this week and couldnt get it to work...went on their "helpline" at 50 pence a minute and talked to somebody who had about as much idea as i did...cost about £12 pounds for the call and i am now back on dial up:huh:

You can search by company name or by a number, and get a localised version of the premium rate number.

 

Orange broadbands local number is:

This could have been your problem:

NTL has always been a good service to me with excellent back up ... very prompt service ..... last year changing the set top box to silver to match my new tv

Telewest ok, if your not a night time user.

I use to be with Orange/Wannado/Freeserve and never had a single problem in 8 years, then transfered to Talk Talk and be warned their customer service is horrific,although once on line it aint bad!.

i had no problems with telewest at nights - then i changed to bulldog and years on i am happy with them - probably got one of the fastest connections in the UK at this time.. although i am sure it'l get faster

 

my connection is LLU ADSL 2+ 23MB down and 1.5MB up

 

And it's about £50 a month with a phoneline and unlimited calls.

 

a good site to compare is http://www.net4nowt.com

Telewest is good...no problems

 

I have always been with Telewest very few problems any problems I have had where quickly sorted out.

 

My only gripe though is that they have become a tad expensive in recent times.

Blueyonder (Telewest Broadband) - Dont use other peoples networks to supply the service which is a plus. I've had no problems with customer service or any problems accessing the service.

Been with Tiscali for about 6 months and have had no issues. £19.99 monthly for 2 meg including all landline telephone calls which we find very beneficial.

We just went over to Virgin Broadband last thursday, there was a problem with setting it up as i needed a RJ11 cable (i didn't know ) and couldn't stay online.

I ended up calling the help number 25p per min 3 times, first time i couldn't understand a word the man said: confused: , 2nd i went through it all again only then to be cut off, 3rd time i could understand his speech but not the content , in the end an online friend took great time and trouble to help get through to my non technical brain what was needed (thanks again Itosan ).

The broadband is now working and is really good at 14.99 per month, there is also an option for a calls package but i think i will let my headache subside before i look at that one .
