My vote goes for Eclipse. UK based proper tech support answering the phones - worth everything. My phone decided to delete ALL my IMAP webmail a couple of weeks back, I phoned up, they diagnosed it from logs, and restored it in under 3 hours. Star service

No issues with my BT Infinity 2 (yet!) except the tulipe Home Hub 3.

I've done 3 speed tests via the BT speed test and LAN when no one else is on the (home) network. My speed is 56+mb from exchange to home \ modem and 53+mb from HH3 to LAN cabled lappie.

Yes, its an 18 month contract which I was wary of but the first 3 months is totally free and unlimited download. We've already downloaded nearly 30 gig(!) in 5 days. I used to get nervous under our other plan as we were regularly hitting 100 gig a month.

Everyone in the family can use BT's free wifi hotspots. Downloading pdf's of 5mb and above is a blink of an eye compared to waiting ages on 6mb adsl. I can now watch wirelessly, full screen youtube vid in 1080p without any stutter when 720 used to lag and stutter in small screen on adsl.

As I said, the kit is tulipe (separate modem and router) although to be fair not many manufacturers make a combined vdsl modem router. The service so far is very good.

Cheers for latest comments. Went with BT in the end, shall probably regret it. As BB says, lot of reductions initially.

PS Pretty easy so far. Just changed login and pwd on my existing router and all worked as normal.
