[ubuntu-uk] Broadband Advice

[Ian Pascoe]

Wasn't there some problems with AoL that meant that they were not compatible
with Linux based OS's?

Anyhow, I agree with Rob about steering clear of Talk Talk unless you want
to tie yourself into a, still?, crap Customer Services and a long contract.

Speaking as an EX-AOL customer, I wouldn't do it.  When I had AOL is was
god damn awful, even worse when Talktalk took over.  I'd NEVER take out
anything more than a 3 month contract for any ISP now.

Personally I think you'd be better off looking at someone like UKFSN
(www.ukfsn.org).  They are resellers for Enta (I'm with another Enta
reseller - Vivaciti) prices are from about £16 a month but they have 30
day contracts and great support.
