best ISP for me

not sure wether this is the right section, but meh ill go on, move if it isnt plz.

now, im on plusnet atm, and they suck monkey ba**s, i shan't go into reasons why.

but yea, im thinking of changing bb providers and i have thought of the following 3.

nildram

bulldog

pipex

thus far here is what i have researched:

nildram: mid prices, good services, aimed at gamers as well (all jolt servers are hosted by them), but owned by pipex

bulldog: low prices, seemingly good service, but ive heard many bad reviews

pipex: high prices, good service, good reviews, owns nildram...

help?!

ne views and opinions?

much appreciated

Cybermaniac, look no further than IDNet.net. Practically 3/4 of the UK peeps in this forum are with IDNet, and they are "the bomb".

Seriously tho, their prices are great, their service is unmatchable, their speeds are awsome - and all of the OC3D servers are even hosted with them, so you'll be one hop away from everything OC3D

Not that I use IDNet, but their reputation amongst our UK members here speaks for itself.

I use IDNET

The thing I enjoy the most is the customer service

If you put an enquiry in via e-mail it gets replied to VERY quickly

If you have a problem and phone them they sort it in about 5mins. One sunday I left a message on their emergency number cause I couldn't connect: they phoned me back in 1minute and sorted it in 5. THAT is support!

My pings are low to all UK servers, speed is excellent and consistant and practically no downtime
