[Phpwm] Broadband recommendations.

[Alex Mace]

I'm with Plusnet who you should avoid at all costs. I've been with them for 4 weeks and in that time they disconnected my phone for 4 days, kept the broadband off for 3 weeks and got rumbled for sending personal data to ACS:Law without a court order.

(Sidenote: if the plusnet developers who came to PHPWM a couple of months ago are reading this, I'm still waiting to hear back from your customer loyalty team after I rejected 2 months free as not being good enough compensation. They said 48 hours 4 days ago...)

Previously I was with Sky which was fast, reasonably priced and had good support.
