[wellylug] Looking for an ISP recommendation

I'm increasingly having issues with Orcon as an ISP. They started of 
great but over the year or so I have been with them have started to be 
less and less reliable.
Their email servers are unreliable (I have had quite a number of emails 
not deliver to me over recent months), their NNTP server is ridiculous 
(connections refused/timed out) and I am increasingly finding it 
difficult to get decent speeds when web browsing.
So it's about time to find another ISP (again!).
My requirements are that they offer ADSL (no cable in my street) and 
that they are reliable.
I'd welcome any and all thoughts, but keep in mind that Paradise is 
probably out of the question as they only offer ADSL if you switch your 
phone to them which I don't want to do as Telecoms toll rates are better 
for us.

Cheers

Jamie
