I think NTL hold the franchise for Glasgow City Centre - maybe check them out?
Had a look at some of the services they offer - 60mb website as standard, but more available as required. http://business.ntl.com/en/productsandservices/productdetail.jhtml?ProductId =prod520005 may be of help but watch out for the url being split Darren -----Original Message----- From: Tam McLaughlin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 31 January 2003 10:07 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Scottish] Good ISP for ADSL business and hosting? Thanks, I just checked online at blueyonder if cable modem was available at our post code but it looks like it's just ADSL (Glasgow city centre). Our company has a limited lifetime before "policy administration" is taken over by a third party and the IT department will probably be made redundant before that, so I have to make things as simple as possible. Although we run an internal SMTP mail server, with force9, we can switch to pop3 accounts if required without too much trouble. I guess we don't really need a 2 Mb/s line but will save thousands a year by moving from the leased line so the difference in price between a 512k, 1M and 2M line becomes insignificant.
