Other ISP's are already installing 1Mbps and 2Mbps connections, plus
the BTopenworld business service is not for a REAL internet business,
note lack of Domain name, 10 email address's...no wonder they've only
just published these details. For the money other ISP's are offering
better deals.

For details visit http://www.adslguide.org.uk site has a good list of
the ISP's with prices and what is included in packages, plus a well
used forum for you to ask questions that perhaps ISP's are reluctant
to answer.

We found Easynet to be the cheapest. It comes out at:
512kbps £79/mo
1Mbps £99/mo
2Mbps £119/mo
if you pay anually (prices ex.vat).
There is a choice of NAT or No-NAT (which can have 13 ip addresses)
Installation is £275
However, other options such as email are a chargeable extra.

Is it just me or does it seem somewhat less than impartial for adslguide to
be recommending EasyNET?

Thats not ADSLguide recommending them, its ME. However, they are the
cheapest, and ADSLguide have recognised that on the site. If I was to get
Ethernet ADSL, I personally would get it from Easynet. I would personally
not recommend Demon Internet due to issues covered at this URL:

Find better prices than Easynet, and we will highlight them on our pages as
the cheapest offer.

Email ain't no real problem really. EasyDSL is aimed at business and
generally a business does have a domain and hosting of a web site etc. So
they should also have POP3 accounts and stuff with their hosting ISP. Even
if they don't they can do this (external mail providers), which can also be
cheaper than Easynet and kinda works like a backup as if your Easynet does
go down (very unlikely, Easynet are just too good) then at least you can
access via another method.
The staff their also seem to have a clue, which I like to see :)

Tanuj,
Sending mail (SMTP) - which cheaper 3rd party services would you suggest?

EasyNet installed my ADSL yesterday - 512kb NONAT, with 16 IP
addresses. Very impressed with them so far, NOT impressed with the
service of BT though, roll on LLU.

Hmm, We use www.TheBrickHouse.net £5/month for the hosting which includes 5
POP3 accounts and a SMTP server (as long as you send via your domain hosted
with them), as well as the normal web hosting.
Also, you could setup your own SMTP server locally. Probably easier as well
as you can have an old machine in the corner sending mail away, leaving the
proper workstations free to do whatever ;)
HTH, Tanuj.
