isp required for gaming ?

Hi

I am on the look out for a new isp. I left ADSL24 after the service went slow and migrated over to o2 Access (no llu in my exchange). I am sure most people know that the o2 Access service is having problems that result in it being very poor between 2pm until the early hours of the next day so I am in need of a fresh isp. I would like an isp that can offer me decent pings for my ps3 and it would be nice if there was a reasonable usage limit each month. Are Entanet resellers an good now ? I know a lot of people had problems with speeds and throttling when they change some system with bt ?

Thanks

Ps I do not have cable either so it has to be a bt line isp

Thanks for the replies, I did like the support at ADSL24 when I was with them before because they did try and communicate with customers via their forum. I would grab a 30ms ping with both hands at the moment because I have had to put up with 120ms pings with o2 Access.

Well I have decided to go back to ADSL24 after my bad experience with o2's Access service. One thing I have learnt is it really is dodgy signing a 12 month contract with an isp that is not LLU. I know Enta packages change on the 30th March and it is anyone's guess on how the ALT stuff will work out but at least the 1 month contract is a get out of jail card if things go pear shaped.

I'm with Orange. They've got some bad press in the past but its been almost 2 years and I've only had one network outage that I can recall. Plus if you have a mobile with them its free 8mb inc a siemens wireless router!

Think it is only free if you can get their LLU service.

Like I said in the opening post the isp would have to be on BT and not LLU or cable. I have moved over the ADSL24 in the past few days and pings are back down to 30 instead of the silly 120+ on O2 Access.
