[Gllug] So no one has opinions about ISPs?

I have been very happy with Zen's technical performance.  I originally 
selected them as they offered static IP address blocks, and there 
weren't many ISPs who were offering that without charging significantly 
more.  In the four to five years that I've been with them, there have 
been two outages I remember--the longest of four hours.  That particular 
outage was at the local exchange, where BT was having problems with 
their kit.  (I've not put any specific monitoring on my connection's 
status, other than using it a lot. ;-))  Since it has worked so well, 
the business hours only support limitation hasn't been a big deal.

I do suffer intermittent problems with my connectivity falling over, but 
that appears to be a problem with my Vigor ADSL router and its WiFi.  I 
live in Windsor, under the flight path of Heathrow, and planes flying 
over sometimes make the WiFi signal fall over--and sometimes the router 
itself does a full reset...

Zen's billing used to be a problem for me, but now that I've moved to 
direct debit it is working very smoothly.
