I'm with Eclipse[1]. They're OK - far from perfect, but reasonable enough
that I haven't thrown my toys out of the pram and gone elsewhere.
They've recently been trying to sell me line rental - apparently, they can
run that side of the business, rather than having to deal with BT. I
haven't tried it, so I don't know if that works...

I get 30GB a month during peak times, and unlimited off-peak. I believe
that upstream is also unmetered - good news for us VoIP users. I forget
which times are classified as "off-peak" - they did change them (to my
detriment), but it's still pretty good.

haven't got round to switching, and I suspect I never will :-)
