The Observer newspaper’s Cash section named Be, Madasafish, Namesco, and PlusNet as those generating the best feedback from their customers while AOL, BT and Orange were criticised by their users for poor customers service, unhelpful technical report and unreliable internet connections.

Broadband Genie CEO Philip Wilkinson says: “Be, Madasafish, Namesco and PlusNet have some very competitive deals and it’s no surprise that they are popular with their subscribers. Madasafish, for example, offers 8Mb broadband for £11.99/month for the first six months and £17.99/month thereafter – the deal also comes with free evening and weekend calls to UK landlines and a free wireless router.

“Meanwhile PlusNet offers 8Mb broadband for £9.99 a month and Be offers 24Mb for just £14 a month.”
