After months of technical problems, my ISP is being cut off - it's going out of business. So, we desperately need a new account with someone.

Can anyone recommend anybody?

I thought I read somewhere that Pipex were taken/about to be taken over by Tiscali? May be wrong there though.

I've got Orange. If I was to start over again with broadband, I wouldn't use them though.

Talking of Tiscali, we've got no complaints about them. (Excellent customer service, I must say - they actually knew what I was on about! ohmy.gif)

I could give you another bad review if you like Nicki, but it's 'most cheerful poster' week!...

We used to use Demon for dial up and they were really good.

Equally, we have Toscali for broadband and they are ace, but they take a while to set things up as they use a different setting or something weird like that....






....I'll ask my bro...

Have Tiscali with free weekend calls - great customer service when our router didn't work with the laptop. No problems with main computer.

Not Orange!! ph34r.gif

Our internet went off on in the middle of December last year and we didn't get it back for around 4 months because they basically just couldn't be bothered to send someone out - we just had to call India everyday mad.gif

Don't think so! But we're going to register a domain for our email (I think)

I use plusnet as well - I think that they will allow you a free domain as well. I just got a free one from them. If you want them to email you some details, PM me your current email address and I'll start the ball rolling.

Our domain costs us a pound per every so often!
