[Gloucs] ISP problem.

Some years ago, I obtained a brand new ADSL connection to what was then
"btopenworld.com".
I reluctantly gave up my two dial-up accounts, uklinux.net and demon
internet, both of which were OK.
After a while, BT unilaterally changed my e-mail to btinternet.com,
rather than btopenworld.
Nothing particularly wrong with that, except that I noticed one day the
incoming server was now "mail.yahoo.com".
The name Yahoo stuck in my throat a bit, but the spam filtering and
service generally turned out to be very good indeed,
and so I "put up with" the Yahoo bit. I have even been inclined to
recommend btinternet to others.
Now that Yahoo seems to be on the threshold of a new era as part of
Microsoft, I may be forced to reconsider.
I would prefer uklinux.net on the grounds that their profits go to the
FOSS movement.
Does anyone have an ADSL connection via uklinux.net, and are you able
to recommend it ?
Best regards,
Geoff.
