I use TELE2 (www.tele2.co.uk) my connection is really a radio DSL. It is
fast, and I've had it in since june and have suffered one outage lasting
about 3 hours (that was back in november). The system is fronted by a
smoothwall firewall which routes mail to my linux mail server. They even
set up a mail feed for me at no extra cost. While a little more expensive
than standard ADSL, they have a better contention ratio than most (I think
its about 8:1 for their 512Kbps service) and their technical support people
have been very helpful when i've buggered things up. They're worth taking a
look at, but as they are radio-DSL coverage is limited (but it is available
in many parts of nottingham).
Cheers.
Neil.
