I don't know about the 10MB but I was with them before I moved house from 512k then 1MB and finally 2MB and I have to say they were excellent. Connection never dropped and always good speeds. They were a bit more expensive than some ADSL but they always delivered so I suppose you get what you pay for. I'm seriously considering going back to them myself, only thing stopping me at the moment is that the upload speed they offer is only half what I get here on LLU (and the upload speed here is about the only thing which has remained working well!!!!!)

Service has been so appalling over the weekend and today I can't wait any longer for this alleged 'hardware upgrade' from f2s. I have just signed up with Telewest..what a relief.
Anyone want to buy a Billion VoIP/802.11g ADSL2+ Firewall Router as recommended by f2s?

i have a friend on Telewest's 10mb broadband, constantly goes over 100gb and has never had an email telling him off (think its 75gb limit) and has never had a bad thing to say about it - all for £35 per month
