Hi,

You must be unlucky.

There are a lot of ISPs out there (particularly in the xDSL space - given
freedom for less corporate entity participation) providing fantastically
responsive and high throughput connections with good reliability and
pricing.

I think routine sub 30ms pings and near constant throughput at a good price
cannot be faulted... I would like to know what else you would like, want,
expect - I think what you are actually after is a coffee machine... not an
internet connection - wrong device / technology )only [light hearted]
jesting)?


Best wishes,
