Hello (Greater) Londoners,
I wonder if my name rings a bell because I have not been a regular for about a year now. Had a very busy and not necessarily fun time but now I have moved to a really nice place hopefully finally and we are now looking for ISPs. Does anyone have a good experience they can recommend? My friend likes to download things, I'm more about uploading and browsing. The shortlist for us includes Be and O2 but if you have any recommendations I'd be really grateful because it'd make our choice faster and help me get back to the fora earlier. 
Thank you.
p.s. I don't know if this helps but the postcode is HA3.

I have internet with BT. They have been good up until recently. Now their browser doesn't work and they have provided no solution to fix it.
And their customer service is crap.

I use Orange Broadband (formerly Wanadoo). I've never had any real complaints with it.

I've used AOL (dialup - I have yet to jump to broadband) for years now and until recently I had not probems with them. However, around January 20 they started shifting everyone from their servers to the Carphone Warehouse servers and there have been lots of problems. In my case it's mostly been disconnections, but their help forums are full of stories and complaints. So I'd be hard-pressed to recommend them at the moment.

Hello there,
Thank you all for your help. We will be getting Virgin, their £10 offer for six months and £18 for the other six. I'm hoping to be more active from the coming weeks.

I used to work for BT in the service and then into broadband sales, and yes I agree they are crap. I used to give loads of money away on service, solving problems other BT people had caused. Then in sales I gave loads away, even when I shouldn't, and loved it  As a BT customer I know how to get what I want.
However as a whole they are better than some companies.
