Imho, the only real ISP in London is BE (bethere.co.uk). And even with
them you might not get a quality connection because of the old
infrastructure, but at least they're trying.
The rest are just, well, living in another world, severe capping (at
times) and ridiculous upload speeds (always). UK is lagging with about
10 years behind (some parts of) Europe when it comes to internet
quality, unfortunately...
