[ubuntu-uk] ISPs
I'm sure you've all seen the news concerning ISPs. Now I for one AM NOT paying someone to invade my privacy be logging what IPs I visit, so TalkTalk are getting the boot. Which means I'm a bit stuck; AOL, Virgin, Sky, Tiscali and Orange/Wanadoo are all out. I'm thinking Pipex business - static IP, unlimited downloads but it's £20 a month + VAT. What do others use/recommend? Unlimited Downloads is a must. Static IP would be a plus Thanks James -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] ISPs
I've heard good things about Be broadband (https://www.bethere.co.uk/), who do 24meg/1.3meg unlimited broadband for ~£15 per month (provided you have a BT line), which is pretty reasonable. They are also owned by O2, who dont seem to have been involved with the latest privacy invasion measures. If they are in your local exchange it would be worth checking them out. -- David Futcher (bobbo) http://www.bobbo.me.uk http://www.launchpad.net/~bobbo -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/

They have a range of options. I'm on Option2 which has 15GB a month cap. This is plenty for me. It costs me £14.99 a month. Static IP if you want it. Higher options give you more.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] ISPs
looks good, but o2 themselves say £7.50 + £5 for a static IP, so I may well go with o2.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] ISPs
Try 02 or bethere excellent service they will tell you the minimum amount of speed you can get (normally 2mb over this but cannot be guaranteed) out of my 24mb i get 21mb this was cheaper than my nildram account who was also bought out by tiscali. Customer service is great (even though they are based in Romania but at least you can understand them) They are well worth considering ;) John From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jake Bunce Sent: 28 July 2008 20:28 To: British Ubuntu Talk Subject: Re: [ubuntu-uk] ISPs Pipex were bought out by Tiscali last year... 2008/7/28 James Grabham [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm sure you've all seen the news concerning ISPs.

I personally wouldn't go with them going on what I've heard. I'm with Vivaciti who are an Enta reseller. I can highly recommend Enta.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] ISPs
I used to be with UKLinux.net when I was on dial-up. Never had a problem. I just got greedy because I got a better deal with Virgin. However, since we're moving soon and given what's happening, I'll seriously consider going back to them if they can supply whichever address we end up in.
