Expensive option (do you need the BT line for 12months, no idea what their current rules are), but would defo show what is best for YOU

Keep in mind the minimum o2 contract length is 12months...

[Jimbob]

even if it is active, i can't do anything with it as its not my line, all billed to work.

Cant even get into the provided router, all locked down  

[Jimbob]

After much deliberation....


Ive only gone and done it.

Zen provided my mac code within minutes.

Signed up (via quidco for £50 cashback)

Lets just hope I'm happy when Its all swapped over.

Jaime, did you find that bit we were talking about? 

My new newsgroup provider is proving very good - Astrawebnews, and have been filling my hard drives!  all for £7.5 a month.


So all in all saving about £20 a month, hope its worth it  :-?

[Jimbob]

just checked quidco......

they have given me the old cashback rate of £70


happy days!

[TheBoy]

They give you 30 days to decide if you are going to commit to a 12 month contract, and in the highly unlikely event you have to call the support department....you get to talk to an english person, in england, on a freephone number, who won't ask you to insert the Windows CD after the first question (thats worth the monthly fee in itself these days).

Ah, missed the 30 bit in first read

The tech support is only as good as the agent (if they don't use scripts) or the donkey management bearucrat with no real job if they do use scripts.

I would have to say, of all the ISPs I've dealt with (and thats an awful lot), Zen's are the best by a considerable margin. Whether that alone is worth the cost depends on your needs. Zen also have one of the best networks in relation to subscriber numbers.  That said, their servers aren't the best imho, hopefully some of the money that was spent on nttp binary retention can go on beefing these up.

As you say, horses for courses really.
While one ISP may excel in one particular department, they may not necessarily be so hot at something else.

Aye, one thing OFCOM have managed  is a reasonably deregulated, cheap ISP choice in the UK
