It depends what you are looking for, bur given the issues you are having I would recommend Virgin Media if you have it in your area.

Currently they are upgrading their network throughout the country and are ironing out problems caused by over-subscription. They are also rolling out a speed boost so that their lowest tier will be 100Mb and their highest 300Mb. Their planned upload speeds are not km own yet. Could be as high as 25Mb on their 300Mb connections.

VM are also rolling out a WiFi network using people's own Superhub routers to create hotspots. This will use a separate channel, so it doesn't affect the customer's connection. This will work like Bt Fon hotspots but will also extend to street box hotspots, shopping malls, railways and airports.

I have always found that I get more than I pay for. I am on a 152Mb connection, but get 160Mb 24/7.

Edit.........

I should have mentioned that VM are a multi-platform ISP, like Sky. There are a wide range of TV and Phone options available with your broadband package. HERE

I just spotted you daughter's post code. Pity! No VM.

It still seems to be around 2 Meg at the moment, which is lightning fast compared to 90K! No, unfortunately no VM. She lives on a new estate that's still under construction, and there is VM in the main road outside, so maybe at some stage they will cable the estate. Alternatively maybe FTTC will come at some point in the future, but right now they're stuck with last century speeds, unfortunately. Thanks again for the observations.

If the roads have NOT being adopted which is normal for an estate still being built, then unless a deal was struck with the builder, virgin media will not be interested as they have to pay to get access, only once roads are public does their code powers come into play.

Again sounds like a developer building but not considering the utility that consider broadband to be.

Thanks, I'll suggest she asks the developer (Barratt) if there is any agreement for cable in the estate. The roads have only a temporary rough tarmac surface at the moment and are going to be surfaced properly at the end, so presumably any cabling would be done prior to this. Still 2 Meg, by the way.
