Black Cat Networks is unfortunately removing their ADSL services, and are offering to migrate people to a company called [http://www.nitrex.net/ Nitrex]. This unofficial page is intended to be used to track alternative offerings for those who want to shop around.
The following ISPs seem to be geek-friendly but many more details to be added. If you discover any information, please feel free to add it here.
- Plusnet?
Have been bought by BT, and their reputation is failing quickly. Major mail problems recently. -SteveMcIntyre
I've only heard bad things about Plusnet, mind you this was from home users doing heavy p2p. -JohnVeness
[http://www.eclipse.net.uk/ Eclipse]:
- No IPv6, but they do IPv4 up to /29s with their cheap service, now owned by Kingston Communications, and some users are being migrated to an LLUed service which apparently isn't as good. -murble
[http://www.zen.co.uk/ Zen]
I've only ever heard *good* things about Zen, although they are expensive. -JohnVeness)
Good rating at [http://www.thinkbroadband.com/isps.html Thinkbroadband]. Cheaper and faster than BC were if you're happy with a 2Gb allowance compared to BCs 512Mb package (but not too expensive to buy more). One month contract which is a good and I expect many of us will look out for.
[http://www.ukfsn.org/ UKFSN]
[http://www.dslzoneuk.net/isp_ratings_comments.php?isp=100 UKFSN Customer Comments] generally positive
Good [http://www.ukfsn.org/home/internet/adsl/maxallowance.html allowance] (especially covering weekends) at a cheap price. 1 month contract
[http://aaisp.net.uk Andrews & Arnold Ltd].
From [http://aaisp.net.uk/tech.html their tech page]: linux support, IP6, staff on irc.
- Very good support, and they keep you posted when the have problems (on usenet and their status blog)

[http://www.bogons.net/ Bogons]:
- IPv6 service
- /29 or /28 IPv4 available if you ask nicely
- Expensive.
- Support is pretty much limited to Cisco and Unix.
[http://www.idnet.net/broadband/default.jsp IDNet]
Reasonably priced and good rating at [http://www.thinkbroadband.com/isps.html Thinkbroadband]. Similar to Zen but slightly better allowance. Also have 1 month contract.
