If your friend can't get cable (as distinct from doesn't have) it might be better posting in the "other ISPs discussion" elswhere on this forum.

Though having done support on cable and adsl I would go with cable if it's available.

i think she can get cable, just has n't because of money. I did say to her that she should look at something were she will get tv, phone and free internet as best value for her and the kids as now she has a pc nd is going to get internet she should make use of the money and get as much as possible..

I recommend PlusNet. Never had a problem with them.

avoid tiscali like the plague.

Its getting ugly over there. Slow speeds, booting you off, extremely poor CS.

Getting somewhat of a slating in press too.

It all depends on what speed she wants or weather or not she can get cable or just adsl.

For speeds I would say virgin media

for low costs and caps I would say adsl
