I'm looking for an ISP that is very stable, to the point of almost no disconnections ever. I don't care about dl/ul speed and don't care about a dl cap per month. All I want is stability and low pings for online gaming.

I'm currently with Be Internet and frankly they're a shambles at the moment.

I'm not in a cable area. Max spending would be £40 per month. Thanks for any help. :)
 
Zen imo, I used to consider IDNet ultra reliable, but recently they had a few problems, they are still damn awesome however. But Zen would be my number 1 choice nowadays.
 
Bad performance on your line could be caused by the ISP - disconnections could often by caused by a poor phone line though, so keep that in mind.
 
TBH Bad performance on Be* is just that, their crappy network. Great for some, OK for others and utterly useless for a lot of people.

Zen - £35 a month for 50gb of data, get what you pay for.

Well, no arguments about Be's network being more than a little pap lately (though I have faith it'll be sorted again soon - they haven't let me down so far in the past 3/4 years).

I'm just making sure the OP is clear that line disconnections should be seperated from "poor performance" as poor performance could be any number of things, e.g:

1) slow inet due to network congestion (ISP dependant)

2) disconnecting line due to a fault on your phone line (nothing to do with the ISP)

If the OP moves ISP and still has the issues I'm sure they'll be annoyed.
 
You can add broken hardware and random bugs to that list too.

If you want 99.99999% reliability, you're going to have to pay serious money for it. Other than that most of the decent ISPs are exactly the same, mainly because most of them use one wholesale provider.

Yeah, the info I gave was a little over-simplified but the main point to the OP was that changing ISP doesn't always = more stability.
