And Telewest is teh suck - you'd get more internet connectivity from plugging 2 cables up my dogs rear-end. Trust us on this.

I agree.. the UK is like a third-world country when it comes to internet. It's overpriced, mostly limited, and it has horrible reliability.

Like my internet service (Tesco) goes offline every night a 9.. wtf?.. its a cheap piece of shit. The "free" modem they provided had to be disconnected and plugged back in every time I started my computer... I finally came up with an excuse to smash it with a hammer.. it was very satisfying.

Also the fact that they don't sell ethernet DSL modems at all.. its either poor wireless or this POS $10 for a dozen USB modems - what makes it worse is that the USB modems AREN'T $10 for a dozen.. they're $60 for ONE!.. WTF?!

Germany's T-Online system was much better.. Not one single problem.. and plus they use ethernet modems so I can use a freakin router!
read about polish isp's so we can talk about 3rd world...

I have AOL............  To be honest I have not had an issue with them, its my damm area, the connections suck sooooooooooo bloody much and apparantly theres no upgrades for like another bloody year!  That is BT though so meh.  AOL I feel have excellent customer service last time I called the guy clearly had a hangover so that was great fun, and when AOL noticed I was not actually getting the connection speeds I was paying for there automatically refunded me with no fuss what so ever and an apoligy for how long it took.  Though I should of noticed but 'meh'.  I hear great things about NTL, but for me atleast it's the area's wiring that pisses me off, to get NTL they would need to dig up the road around my home and not one of those arsehole neiborghs would agree!  BASTARDOZ!

Oi! You think you're really clever, sending insults like that, but i've got news for you Mr, you're wrong about me. You're so wrong you could live in Wrongsville, Population: You.

You are so wrong I think you're family would disown you.

I sit on his right.

I've been using Virgin BB for the last 3 years without a problem, maybe they are scared of my special powers and decided to treat me as royalty.

Then again speaking to their technical support is like having a conversation with gravy.

AOL is the shit, no problems at all, i wouldn't recommend them though, there are better isp's than AOL.
