I'd happily agree with that statement (although we're on the Home 1000, 
and we have had problems with moves - but each time they've been BT's 
fault, not Zen's).

Their service is great, never had a problem with downtime or more 
general service issues, I run a home server at the end of it (Web, Mail, 
etc.), which they don't have a problem with plus you get a permenant 
static address (which you can control the reverse DNS on).

Also, they have a good set of Forums with many Linux users on them (plus 
a few Cisco one's too which helped me with my 837! :))
