I have used BE internet in London and Cambs and would recommend them to 
anybody. We get around 6MB in the sticks which I am happy with. London 
was solid 20MB.

I would also suggest you looking at purchasing an ADSL router - the 
standard BE box would often drop the internet/randomly reboot etc 3/4 
times a week [at least].

After purchasing a Draytek 2820 I can't remember the Internet ever 
dropping [we got it about a year ago]. I have read the Sync speed is 
often slightly lower - but I am willing to accept that for stability.
