I've used Talktalk for 7 months.
No problems at all and regularly get about 3.8 - 4.0 kbps.

If that is an ADSL service complain bitterly, dialup is faster.

My ADSL runs at 5Mbps, actual throughput, sync rates vary from 3 to 7 Mbps
depending on the time of day the sync takes place.

On this comparison site, Zen comes out really well. My IT techie advised me
to sign up for this and I'm doing so.

Zen is marvellous. In four or so years we've only had one day without
internet access.

I was impressed this morning that when I rang the number given to help
enquirers, I got straight through to a real live person. And he was in UK
*and* he gave me his name and a direct dial number to his desk if I needed
more help.
Eclipse came out well in comparisons, too but Zen seem to have the edge.
OTOH, Orange, who I am quitting, yesterday filled my Mailbox with hundreds
of defunct emails, going back to before Christmas, for the second time.
Plus they gave me a totally wrong non-existent MAC, having sent me two
emails saying "Here's your MAC", which were empty! And when I rang them I
got a call centre in India, where I spoke to a perfectly nice young woman
but whom I had great difficulty in understanding. She gave me the correct
MAC but somehow, I really do doubt her name was truly Erica......
