Trying to decide on which Broadband supplier to use, any recommendations ?, best price etc required. Any opinions welcomed. Also my message will come up with my user name, can I create an alternative to show on my messages ? Something interesting like Rosie from Peterborough ! Thanks Rosie from Peterborough !! |

I've been using a company called freedom2surf for the past 15 or 16 months, and have had no problems whatsoever (2 hours noticeable downtime in all that time). Might consider a change soon though as prices have dropped since and I'm still paying 2003 prices... |

Hi Rosemary, I'm on BT Broadband and am very happy with the service - I have unlimited broadband 24 hours a day. However, like Paul, we're about to make some enquiries as we're still on a previous price band. To change your name - go to 'account details' on the left hand side of the screen and log in with your password. You can then change your name to anything you like, but it will only show up one name in the 'first name' box. So you would have to put the 'from' in the surname box ... hope that makes sense! Mandy :) |

Hi, I've only just started using wanadoo but they seem pretty good. Twice the features and content as BT, but the same price. |

I'm on AOL silver broadband, been really happy with it no problems, up to 7 e mail addresses included. Also just gone down in price to £17.99 a month. Also get free McAfee firewall with it. I've also just recently downloaded a free trial with McAfee virus control. Which if I continue will be just £2.49 a month. Diane |

Pipex. I think they have just dropped their prices to less than my hubby pays which is 19.99 a month. The only time we lose service is when BT are doing maintenance on the phone lines in the middle of the night and then Pipex email you to warn you about it. Not happened for a long time and when it does it is the fault of BT not Pipex. |

Im on Wanadoo, total freedom and the maximum amount of downloads (son does on line gaming) at 1 Mbp speed for £27.99. If it werent for son I could get same deal for £17.99 with them. BT may offer same prices but are half the speed. |

I recommend B.T also, prices are very reasonable, and i have no complaints. To change your name go to ACCOUNT DETAILS, and simply change your surname. Sorry if someone has mentioned that already. Regards, Lisa |
