[QUOTE="Levi, post: 449480, member: 33973"] I've heard nothing but bad things from people since the Orange re-brand. I'm with PlusNet at the moment and we've not had any trouble (except when BT said their was a problem with the phone line, so PlusNet had to cut the connection, and wouldn't turn it back on until they got the go ahead from BT... which took some pandering. I blame BT for that though.) It's not the cheapest, and if something does go wrong I don't know how I'd get in touch with them (all their support stuff is web based); but their usage limits are the most generous I've found (even "Unlimited" packages have a "fair use" clause so they can cut your connection long before you've reached what I'm allowed on PlusNet (and I've used 130GB bandwidth in a month on more than one occasion; most other ISPs top out at 40GB - 80GB). They also include some VoIP features with your package (handy for people ringing me because they give you a local rate number; much cheaper than calling my mobile). Also, there's no long term contract, you just need to give a months notice (and pay a £70 connection charge that they defer until you switch providers, but I had to pay more than that to Tesco to end my contract early so it's not so bad). If you don't need those features, then I've heard good things about BT :) [/QUOTE]
