tiscali. www.adslguide.org.uk is the best place to go to compare adsl isps.

No, No, and maybe. Bulldog have some clever tricks for citydwellers
to get a higher speed for the same price.

I used www.adslguide.org and chose freedom2surf. I am very impressed
with them. Thier customer service has real people, not mindless
droids like Tiscaly or Freeswerve.

Hum, 2Mbps slow?


bps is bandwidth not speed.

The backup link for the local wireless BB network has
that. Ping times will be high (it's along way up and down to a bird)
so no good for online gaming but a company wants their employees to
work not play games...


With an uplink its even slower

Cost on the other hand might more of a
problem...


Not to mention planning permission for the dish,
