Depends what you mean by Best. There isnt a single ISP thats good at everything really, you have to decide what you most. Speed, cost or reliability. Cable is the most reliable of them all, rarely ever goes down, speeds are mostly solid, very few problems. They dont have the highest speeds (i can download at ~1.17MB/sec though...) of all though nor are they the cheapest, but i find the best all round.

Theres various ADSL2 provides that will offer you 16 or even 24Mbit ADSL but if your more than 1.5km from the exchange you wont get speeds even close to that, more likely 10-12Mbit. There are some ADSL providors offer cheap boardband too, the free ones are the worst, very unreliable, poor CS, and normally crap (it remains to see how sky will do with theirs). My dad has tiscali as he cant get cable and thats been ok for him. I know someone on AOL also, and aside from the lame software that isnt too bad connection wise either.

IMO Cable is best though, only reason i'd get any ADSL was if i lived in an uncabled area.

talktalk is a 18 month contract,
there customer services take the p!ss
10p a mintue if you've got any broadband problems
they block most gaming ports during the day(also block p2p network,the likes of limewire,bitcomet,bitlord)
cant view a website that has live streaming during the day,
after 2am its great but 8am it goes crap again.

tiscali are crap, as are BT... best ive had is Virgin, and its not all that good either ... 2mb £17.99 a month

I'm with Orange too but to be fair, mine goes down less than the BT Broadband connection at home.

If you've got Sky, you might be able to get Sky Broadband which has free wireless, "unlimited" downloads and is upto 16meg for £10/month.

I am on orange now and its fucking shite, pay £20 a month and get 1meg.

Whats the best deal at the moment , pref with free wireless

cheers
