Handy link, I'm moving next week and need to decide on an ISP. The problem is that they all seem pretty bad – any ideas?
I have been with Plus Net for many years and whilst not perfect they do continue to provide a good service, plus they include proper web hosting with SQL and PHP with my account so I dont have to host this site elsewhere at extra cost.
If you want me to refer you let me know ( I get a VERY small discount per month if I refer new accounts to them ).
Cheers
I use Madasafish. They are pretty good and offer reliable support. Madasafish are now twinned with Plusnet (under BT ownership) and pretty much operate out of the same business – You should be safe with either.
If you're looking for bargain broadband then Virginmedia and TalkTalk work out as cost effective.
I ended up going with Plusnet after being recommended them at work.
Cool. Plusnet are pretty good. I've had one or two dealings with them over supplying information for my website. They seem to get back to you have you any queries – a good sign.
Two other good things with Plusnet (1) their customer referral scheme (if you play your cards right you could avoid paying you broadband bill completely) and (2) They have a help forum – looked pretty handy when I was considering going with them.
I've been using Martin Pitt's company for some years. He set up Vispa and now runs Aquiss. http://www.aquiss.com/
It's not Mac-based but the customer service alone makes it worth the money. In any case, most routers are accessed by a web browser so the settings used are cross-platform. The Mac will automatically connect as long as the router is configured correctly.
When we need a broadband connection we will end up with some routers/modems. These may not be mac friendly and we have to configure it again. Hence before installation check whether your router/modem are mac friendly.
Zen Internet was awarded the 'Best Mac-Friendly ISP’ at the Macworld Awards a couple of years back.
I think the ISP's must follow the trend and to implement good solutions for the MAC users. If the connection is good, the credibility will increase and the number of clients too.
