Choosing an ISP?

Hi all. I have been researching for ages to find a new ISP as since Virgin "merged" my service has been pa#ts! My ideal would be to combine my phone and broadband with one supplier. I live in darkest Cumbria, Kendal, and we now have electricity too! Any advice or experience from any members would be most welcome.
Many thanks, Gareth.

There aren't many (if any) GOOD companies that will supply your broadband and your phone.

Who has unbundled your exchange?

Click on MAAF below,they do a phone package,check them out on the forum, you could post and see what folk think of the phone packages (12 month contracts)
I use BT for the phone so can't comment
but find MAAF good for my BB connection

If you can get Sky LLU - they do a free phone calls deal - broadband connection - plus their TV channels as a package for
