Poor old Karoo is taking some stick down there just ahead of Virgin.

I hope they're cheap.

Hull yes.
I've had a look and they do lots of "unlimited" packages (* subject to fair use policy of not using the connection at all).
They're not particularly cheap though, which surprises me.

Sadly our average has dropped from 4.43 this morning to 3.38 now which has pushed us out of the Top 5.

BTW Kingston also owns Eclipse.

5th equal at 4.4 as I write.

They only let you vote once for your ISP, but you can vote once for EVERY ISP if you want to.
Seems a bit silly to me and could lead to manipulation of the ratings.

I have voted.    But got to thinking, are these ratings really significant?     And another thought crossed my mind, if ones isp is a reseller of Entanet do you get TWO votes? :o

Taken from the above link...

There is also an update on the order for the 4th BT Central pipe. Enta have been told by BT that the order is being pushed forward early so it might now be in by March 7th. Of course this is subject to BT being able to get the fibre in and tested before then so don't hold your breath. Still it's good news that BT are moving the order forward.


Does this mean that IDnet could have their new pipe a little sooner than expected as well?  :out:

Or could it mean that IDNet, as a smaller customer, would get pushed back? :(

Entanet need it!

They have some very patient customers.
