+1 for AA. I've been with them for several years. While they're not the cheapest the service level is exceptional, i.e. you get what you pay for. Speeds are always best-effort, there is no filtering or SPI, and the support team are highly knowledgeable and responsive. Just as an example, I moved properties and wanted to merge the new account with my old one. I went on IRC, asked, and was done in less than five minutes. You can also normally chat with the company owner (RevK). It looks like the Home::1 tariff is a good bet if you need 'net access during weekdays. Otherwise I'd stick to the unit-based system. In addition to the ~£20 base cost (including two units), one unit is ~£3.90 which buys you a mix of 1GB (or 2.5GB on 21CN ADSL2+) 9am-6pm and 50GB 6pm-9am, with "night time special" running 2am-6am with 1TB/unit. Weekends and Bank Holidays are 50GB/unit. If you over- or under-use the difference is carried over to the next month and you can change units on a month-by-month basis. J
