I believe that IC24 is a Brightview reseller, as is Waitrose. Resellers are not listed on TB only the provider is, like Entanet which has several resellers, but you cannot sign up with Entanet.

Madasafish gets a mention I think because they are owned by Brightview. Samara is the Brightview ISP rep. on TB and if this was a weekday she (or he?!) would probably have replied to your question.

DSLZone has a different policy to TB and lists both resellers and provider which IMO distorts the ratings. Currently the top four are Enta resellers and the fifth is Enta, but you cannot sign up with them so I don't see how anyone can rate them.

Yes, but the OP is asking about ICUK, which is not the same.

Hi Goggo,

I'm a "she" - my parents were hippies which kind of explains my ambigious name.

We run all the Brightview brands - so I wouldn't say that we're so much a reseller as we are a provider who can provide a VISP service for companies who would like to offer Internet services to their customers.

Kind regards,
Samara

Apologies on two counts!
I got the wrong IC!
Wasn't sure of Samara's gender - I am now thanks, but never take anything for granted on the web! (and she even keeps an eye on the Forums at weekends!) By the way, I think that Samara is a nice (Russian?) name - seeing themob's sig. reminds me, wasn't it also a Lada model?

Try this. Apologies in advance to Samara.

As I said, taken from the Isp listing criteria for this site...

DSL Criteria
Services are currently being installed and are available for order
You have your own assigned IP space
You have your own BT central pipe OR
You have a different direct relationship with a wholesale DSL provider (or you are a wholesale DSL provider)
For these purposes we deem a wholesaler as a telecommunications provider who has their own exchange equipment and provide broadband services using it OR a telecommunications provider who provides services using BT Datastream. If you have multiple relationships with different providers we will only list the products where you have a direct relationship with each wholesaler. Please note this generally excludes resellers or shared central pipe solutions such as those provided by Netservices and Entanet.

The point I was making was that Enternet resellers are represented, in force, under the Enternet name, so why couldn't other resellers do the same under their respective wholesaler's name. Which brings me back to where I started anyone know anything about ICUK, are they resellers, they seem to have been around for some time I remember short-listing them before I went to Zen and that was two years ago.

There's nothing stopping that. See the Enta forum for example.

Yes, even Netservices resellers - who could use this forum if they dared.

I'm nit picking here I suppose, but I don't like the fact they quote their caps in Gb. Is this a typo or are they offering 12.5 GB/month? If it is really 100Gb/month then it is misleading, if it is a typo (as I suspect) then they should really know better.
