| Hi there, our area will be enabled for Broadband in September. Currently I am with Clara and Plusnet and am requesting advice on which ISP is a good choice and opinions of newsgroup members.It doesn't have to be my current ones. I have looked at comparison lists but think more experienced members are a useful source of review. Any advice appreciated in advance. High costs would be a problem. Thanks in anticipation. Sue http://www.ohnurse.co.uk Going by magazines and newsgroups, I must be in a minority but am pleased with BTOpenworld broadband. I have been with them in various packages for six or seven years and have never felt tempted to go elsewhere. I did try several others first CompuServe, Demon, AOL and a couple of others I forget but once I switched to BTinternet, as it was then, I saw no reason to change. Sure I've had hiccups with it now and again but never anything major and always resolved very quickly. I'm sure you have started a long thread here I will be interested to see. Phian Thanks for reply Phian, do BT Openworld have webspace and email? If not, how do you get round this? Kind regards, UKOHN BTOpenworld have these but BTBroadband does not which is why it is cheaper. http://www.btopenworld.com/gateway/gatewayBBHome http://www.btopenworld.com/default http://www.bt.com/btbroadband/ns_home.jsp Later this year BTOpenworld will become BTYahoo. Both services have one month free deals, if you already know anyone on BTOpenworld you could arrange for that friend to recommend you then you would each get £20. There are other offers such as free activation. Check out the links above for details. Phian |

| Having read the groups discussions I came up with Andrews and Arnold (expensive - no more than BT - but best service) Nildram PlusNet I am going with plusnet as they are cheapest - still good service and speed and best inclusive package - webspace/ static ip etc. Cheers Ian "Phian" wrote in message ...
