I use Nildram, have done ever since ADSL was launched in this country.
It works.  BUT I wouldn't recommend them.  I'm half-convinced that mine
works because it was set up a long time ago by competent people and
no-one has fucked with it since.  There's no way that I would trust
Pipex's half-trained monkeys (or whoever it is that owns the Nildram
brand these days) to get anything important right.

If I were shopping for a home interwebnet connection, I think I'd go to
bogons.net.
