    Should I just use some free one? like indigo, and pay for every minute or should I choose esat with the flatrate? Is there anyone else that offers some good deal? And how much would you have to surf to reach 20 pounds... maybe its better to stick to indigo.

    And which one has the best ping? routers, switchers and lines.

    I have both Indigo for during the day (plus email address etc.), and Esat for the evenings. I find them pretty much the same, except that with Esat/IOL you can leave the PC on from 6pm on Sat - 8am on Monday, without paying a penny. If you did this with any other companies, it would cost you a fortune, and its also handy for overnight downloads, so that you can set something to download before you go to bed and disconnect when you wake up for school/work, which will cost you again with the non flat rate isp's. As for pings etc, depends I suppose, but I have about the same on both ISP's for games.

    use esat surf no limits. a lot of ppl complain about pings and getting disconnected, but its nearly always been very good for me. Sometimes during the day esat gives high pings, and occasionally at night the connection is so weak u keep timing out of IRC and stuff. but usually it is good. and way cheaper than any other isp if u use the internet a lot offpeak.

    But still.. its the only flatrate ISP... And if you surf 2 hours a day during weeks and say 4 hours a day on weekends you get over 25 pounds easly... and I'm connected more than that.. So I guess I dont have much choice do I?

    Another thing..

    Would you mind posting IPs to servers for

    CS, AQ2, UT, Q3 and what pings you get?

    Also... anyone that plays Diablo2 and what ping do you get from the realms in europe?

    Stop posting the same questions on two sub boards, it gets annoying to see your posts all over the gaf.
    It's about a society in freefall....
