Need help choosing new ISP

I am looking for a new ISP as I having nothing but trouble with my current one (SKY) and the problem still hasn't been resolved in the last three months of contacting them.

Exchange:
http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/MYELL

Router stats:
Port..........Status......TxPkts........RxPkts.........Collisions.......Tx B/s......Rx B/s........Up Time
WAN.......PPPoA.......729.............774................. 0.................339..........886..........00:09:05
LAN........................10653 .........8442................ 0................4016........1028.........00:27:38
WLAN.....................3150............969..................0.................1601........458...........00:08:55

ADSL Link.....................Downstream........Upstream
Connection Speed..........1440 kbps...........768 kbps
Line Attenuation..............60.5db................31.5db
Noise Margin...................11.6db................12.0db

I know my down/upload speed won't be great but I just need a more reliable service as my current connection drops at least 4-5 times a day. I also live about 5.7 kilometers away from the exchange.

I already have my MAC code. Can any one recommenced me a reliable ISP from the information provided?

Thanks, Str4ng4r

I have just been in contact with BE and 02 and because I live further than 5 kilometers from the exchange I can not subscribe to there broadband services. Does anyone have any experience with the C&W Home LLU package from ADSL24?

If the line is a little bouncy one thing to think about if being on ADSL2+ might be to try the line on ADSL2 or even just an ADSL Max profile, might help to stabilise the line a little, long line can be unstable and wont be much help on ADSL2+

Invariably if the issue is the downstream noise margin varies a lot and causes drop outs when at under 6dB, then changing ISP will not help.

Another ISP that tries a 15dB target margin might be stable, but that would drop connection speed to 1Meg, i.e. slow you down.

1 meg would be OK if the line was stable, anyone got any suggestions?

I rarely get the speeds shown in the router stats, that's if I can manage to get a connection. Having to resort to my mobile broadband most of the time. Don't know where I would be without it.

Which package would you recommend from your website with my stats. I am not bothered about losing a little download speed in return for a stable connection.

It would depend on what sort of usage you use per month.
