AOL - has issues that mean you have limited hardware options
Pipex - good service, problems with a/c's (took too much) and not the cheapest.
Plusnet - who we are with now but have a fair use policy, which all companies are going to start sooner or later.
IMO, its best to avoid the "Free" modem unless they now come with built in firewall, get a router that you can setup and has a built in firewall. Another advantage is that you can disable the firewall on your PC, which speeds things up. When you swap over to BB you will need to make sure that your anti virus and spy sweeper are kept up to date.
Sounds dire but well worth it for the vast improvement in speed and functionality. |
