I use Zens ADSL package for my work (home office) and they are superb. I 
had the 2Mbps unmetered at the start but switched to the 8Mbps with a 
bandwidth cap because my online stats showed I could fit into that 
without incuring over-use fees. The service is excellent. Always fast, 
always available and the couple of times I called support it was dealt 
with really well.

Downstairs (residential line) we have a low-use Nildram ADSL package, 
mostly for the Xbox 360 and my wifes wireless laptop. I have to admit 
that they too offered a really good service, and although we don't use 
that line enough to judge it as being good enough to do all my work on, 
for gaming, system updates and the browsing my wife does it is very good 
indeed. I picked them over Zen purely because of the price. Zen are one 
of the most expensive ADSL providers out there, but for a very good 
reason - they're virtually faultless.

Cheers,

Rich
