I use Zen Internet since September last year, mainly because I am "camping" at
my present address and most other ISP's only offer 12 month contracts for
ADSL. For an independant opinion of ADSL provision within the UK, look no
further than http://www.adslguide.org.uk/. There is a compare link there
where you can select upto 4 ISP's and compare their performance over the last
several months. My previous ISP was Demon, a good-ish ISP and much better
than BT, otherwise known affectionately (I am sure??) as BT Openwound -
called so because of their propensity to lose emails, I believe.
