    My Other Reviews·UK Online
    The service was delivered on the day it was originally intended, a few issues with the telco cutting over to their service resolved in a few hours however the provided hardware had no firmware on it, had to flash this myself.

    Consistent speeds, but since a move to static IP address router very unreliable. In addition was moved to static IP address without being informed what that address was meaning I had to log on using an alternative connection before DSL would work again.

    Price decrease appeared to decrease quality of service initially, however capacity planning has gotten back to grips with things some more. Previously unreliable DHCP and DNS have been stabilised and are much better.

    After a few issues the ISP has improved and is once again a well run ship. Still a little 'mom and pop' but increasingly professional and responsive.

    Shame to leave them due to moving home!

    Small Update

    Just to mention things are stable now, the line is synched at 20.573Mbit/s downstream and 1.317Mbit/s upstream and I am achieving download rates of 2200kB/s.

    Very, very impressed indeed.

    Re: Small Update

    Sadly as per my edited review things became unstable.

    Now synched much lower than that speed, 2.2MB/s is a fantasy, and pretty unreliable due to router reloading at random.

    Re: Small Update

    Also engineering with this ISP is appauling. While they implement the IWF watch list instead of implementing it properly in a Cleanfeed manner they just simply blacklist IPs which isn't really useful for shared hosting. Evidently their engineering department lacks the wit to deploy HTTP level filtering.

    I would have to recommend avoiding these guys for now.
