I left Nidram just before they were Tiscalified. FWIW, Nildram were
always excellent though no idea what they're like now, after their IT
infrastructure was merged with Tiscali dns servers, unbundled lines,
etc.
I'm currently with idnet. They recently had a bad email outage so not a
100% record and my impression is that it's growing pains. Not the
cheapest either, but no port-blocking or throttling, good pings,
one-month contracts and as fast as I'll get when on song.
