[sclug] Bulldog Broadband

[Hamlesh Motah]

I used to swear by bulldog, however since being taken over their
customer service has really fallen, and they are too expensive to be
honest.

Stuff that shouldn't really go wrong went wrong, like continually
mischarging me, debiting my account 4 times a month for the monthly
rental, all sorts of stupid stuff.

Eclipse
(http://www.eclipse.net.uk/index.cfm?id=referrerredirect&type=broadband&
referrercode=HAMLESH) are the best ADSL provider out their at present
(IMO of course).  Static Ips are standard (you don't have to pay a fiver
a month for the priviledge).  Their tech guys are really nice and know
what they are doing, I got a /8 off of them for free, they even setup
the PTR for you if you ask!

They are having a free setup and free modem promotion at present too.

Cheers.
