Just a quick gauge of opinion regarding Internet Service Providers. Which company do you rate the most highly, and why.

I shouldn't think many people will be voting Tiscali. They are absolutely bloody useless. Two months to the day since I placed my broadband order, and I've yet to be able to connect.

Always been with AOL. Never had a problem with them. Actually that's a lie. I have had problems but nothing the everso helpful technical team haven't been able to put right in double quick time ( once you get past the 101 questions that stoopid voice recording asks you).
Mental anxiety, Mental breakdowns, Menstrual cramps, Menopause... Did you ever notice how all our problems begin with Men?

I used to be with AOL. 'Free Trial'. Yeah... :roll:

I've been with Telewest Blueyonder for about 5 years now. It very occasionally goes down (but that's usually the box's fault).

After seventeen thousand, six hundred and forty nine attempts, they FINALLY managed to uninstall her from the commercial.

Mind you, the uninstall also managed to remove most of the ITV network at the same time.
