Hi,
My advise is not to touch Buldog with a bargepole. I have seen several
complaints about being left in the learch with no connection, virtually
no customer support and rude managers/salespersons on the phone.
Andrew.

I tend to think that Tristram is right in saying 2Mbs is plenty for the
vast majority of us. That said, when we are all adicted to watching TV
any time we like up to a week or so after transmission, I wonder if
2Mbs will still be enough?
Anyway, I had a leaflet through the door about Bulldog Communications
and they appear to be very agressively cmpetitive. Take a look at:
http://www.broadbandchoices.co.uk/provider.asp?ProviderID=4&kt=105
Just for starters. Wonder if anyone uses them or has investigated
further.

| Plusnet major on consistency and reliability I think more than raw
speed.
| You'll have to bear in mind 2mb rollout has only recently got started
and

broadband. The

proximity

sat on

provders

have
| had major gaps in service. Take a look at somewhere like
| www.theregister.co.uk for more info.

| Personally for most of what you come accross today 2mb is fast enough
for
| any one person.

| BROADBAND ENQUIRYVirgin.net is good as well. I've been with them for
around
| two years and haven't had any problems and there help line is good
too.
| Though I might migrate to PlussNet when they start offering 4/8MB

| Hi all,
|
| Having put up with their terrible customer service and lack of
proactivity
| for too long we're at last in the process of ditching NTL at home.
| Consequently we're looking at alternative broadband providers and I
wondered
| whether there were any which people would highly recommend from a VI
point
| of view? Alternatively, are there any which should be avoided at all
costs?
| I remember, for example, that AOL was set to be not very good in terms
of
| usability/accessibility.
|
| Cheers now.
