In reply to a post by professor973:

Which is as good as you will get in my opinion to recommend to the OP looking for low latency. Add bombproof broadband, good customer service, an excellent Fritz!box router and never a price rise thrown in and it's a no brainer and beats ALL the supposed leading ISP's I have been with, though there will always be a know better here.

Your incredibly effusive praise for them is duly noted, however 'bombproof' doesn't apply to everyone - there will be many LLU customers served by all suppliers reliant on a single piece of fibre.

Neither does your claim about latency or quality of service apply to everyone.

However I'm not going to go further into that one. They do their best but, as with everyone else, only have so much cash to spend. They've some great guys working for them, I know a couple, but no one size fits all.

Zen support - best described as "above average"!

The 'Know better'!

You've replied to a post thats more than 2 years old, the reason this thread showed as being recently active is because the spam catcher process caught and deleted spam from 'harry02' trying to promote a wireless ISP in America yesterday.
