Come on then folks...
What ISP do you use to get onto this Mecca of Scooby Stuff ??
I've tried many in the last few months and decided to settle with Freeserve Anytime.
I wanted BT ADSL but they still haven't got their act together to offer it to me in my area, been waiting 2 years since asking them.
I found a good website too called www.ispreview.co.uk with lots of different opinions.
Cheers
O.M.

OM, I am with FS Anytime also. Happy with it, not a problem getting on-line and good speed (for a 56 k modem). I've not got a reason to change, unless it's to broadband.

Freeserve Anytime is a lot better since they've doubled their capacity, I used an ISP called Free24-7.net which were o.k. to start with but Authentication problems caused me to look elsewhere.
O.M.
What about a Scoobynet ISP ?? With the amount of time us lot spend on this BBS it'd make a mint.

OM - I'm with PlusNet, and have been for quite a while. Got CGI etc and a pretty fast and reliable modem connection - will be looking at ADSL now the prices are down (£26.99 per month now!). Quite happy with them, plus I see they got top review rating on that site you mention 
I run a BBS myself (http://www.giveitfish.co.uk/slalombbs) and although it's hardly Scoobynet the performance is good.
Hope you don't mind, but I've sent you a referral e-mail in case you want to save me some money on my monthly charges

NTL cable - cant knock it for £19.99 per month running a 3 PC LAN off it (can easily support 6+ playing CS with same low 30-40ms ping).
Not quite as good as when I used to play at work with an 8ms ping but we were running a meagre STM1/155mbit connection then

Pipex ADSL and the price is dropping to £23 a month on 1st April
Had BT surftime before which was OK, and tried Tiscali, the conection was OK but support was very poor in my opinion.
