Hi Sunil, Gena and all.

Yes I have heard that Nildram does offer a good service and Gena it could be 
an option for your need for plenty of data.  The more expensive package of 
£25.99 would probably be needed though and if you went for the static IP you 
would pay an extra 33.50 a month.

Not cheap then but one would hope for good quality.

While I think of it, if you want binary newsgroups access, forget plusnet! 
they only offer access to text groups.

Cheers

Graham

If excellent technical support is important I'd go for Nildram they're
great.

Thanks for all the additional comments and advice.  I have preserved them
carefully and they will be very helpful in making a decision.

Availability of initial Technical Support (without extortionate cost!) is
one of my priorities, but I am unlikely to be a heavy user and run into
problems with the download limits set.   I simply want to get away from
such   anoyances as spending 2 -3  hours over downloading a 30 mb file or
audio streams breaking up etc.
