I am moving house tomorrow. It will be However, it means I need to set up a new internatz connection so's I can talk to all you lovely people. Does anyone have any advice on (UK) ISP's and who is the fastest/cheapest, (or fastest AND cheapest )?

I have checked out the flat I am moving into and there is a BT phone line and an NTL/Virgin phone line, So I have a decent choice. I have no idea if these lines are able to carry a broadband signal or not, but they probably should as it is in a large city and the person before had a laptop (I only know this because it was there at the viewing). I also want to get cable/digital TV, and a phone line if one is offered. I have been looking at Sky and Virgins offers and they seem pretty good, but I have heard that the broadband speed you pay for with these guys isn't really ever the speed you get. I also remember using a site that tested what the fastest/best ISP for your adress was and where the local router/hub (?) was in relation to your house. Does anyone know the URL for this? Anyone got any advice on who to give my money to?

Thanks.

I'm with BT and I advise that you just don't go with them.

- They do have blacklisted servers;
- Now, when our phone rings, we get disconnected.

It's been nothing but trouble and it is a real shame because they used to be great! 8MB Line:
