Good to see Wanadoo in the bottom list.  As a customer, I can only say one thing about them.

Avoid.

I'm a customer of Force9 and its good to see them so high up.  I've recommended them to many pepole but they don't usually take me up on the offer and go for a more recognised company (i.e Wandadoo and Tiscali  :shock: )

I was surprised to see Bulldog so low.  Aren't they supposed to be the Super-ISP, with 8MB broadband for eighteen quid a month and free modem and connection?

Then again, as most downloads are restricted by the source to around 4KB/s, what use is 8MB broadband?
