As a former Orange user, who has recently switched to Zen internet - all I can say is, what a difference!

It is a relief to finally find a service that offers polite, friendly, helpful advice, to speak to knowledgeable staff who treat you as an individual, not a number - who seem to understand your needs, and most importantly, can speak and understand English.

The service from Zen so far, has been quick and responsive. Yes it is slightly more expensive, but after the agro of dealing with other ISPs, whose expensive premium rate technical help line and customer services can cost a small fortune and be described as nothing more than 'dismal' - boy is it worth paying a bit extra!

I highly recommend Zen and just hope they never get too big for their own boots that they stop seeing customers as individuals. Unfortunately, this is exactly what seems to have happened with many of the more well known ISPs - they have become so big, that once you have set up your direct debit, they can afford not to care about any problems you encounter.

As more and more people become disgruntled with big corporations, who put initial profit before the loyalty of their customers, I hope that companies like Zen, who actually seem to care about the quality of service they provide, gain in popularity.

As a mac user, I can also recommend this service as an excellent choice for other mac users too.

Reselecting another ISP is not about who is the cheapest, nor is about what gimmicks are being offered.
It is about having an ISP that works 24/7. Even great speed is really not essential providing it is over 3 to 4 meg. at the computer.
When we decided to leave OneTel when they were subjected to a Spam Attack our choices were immense.
I trolled thru' the Web ISP Forums looking for an ISP where the customers were not criticising their ISP. I reasoned that if I could find a happy bunch of customers that was the ISP to go to.
Zen Internet fitted the bill. Along with having a UK based office & call centre, a web site that allows you to control your own E-mail addresses and many other online ISP features.
I am content - my wife who manages a couple of club magazines can do her job stress free.

I have had problems with my connection since day one. Numerous calls and emails were not sufficient to make somebody concerned enough and to take serious actions towards resolving the issues. Apparently the problem lies somewhere in the BT exchange, however Zen do not seem to care much about it. The 8Mb I was supposed to get are never more than 2.8Mb and very often the connections is simply broken and I can't even use the service for which Zen happily charges £25/month.
Their customer service seems above the average ISP, but this doesn't help at all when my connection is down for hours and apparently they think its up to me to resolve the issue.

EXCELLENT - Pure and simple.

I have waited for the best part of a year before writing this review because I wanted to give an accurate and hopefully useful account of my connection with Zen.

I was recommended by a friend who had just subscribed about a month before me.

My installation was quicker than the 10 days, with the router and filers being delivered within 7 days.

The service had been comissioned a day ahead of the scheduled date ;-)

All customer support queries have been by email so far (not felt the need to phone as I haven't had any problems). Emails usually returned within 24hours.

Netgear DG834 router supplied has been 100% reliable.

Connections and downloads have been consistantly fast with no drop-outs or DNS issues.

Not the cheapest ISP but now charge £29.99 for the 1mb connection instead of £34.99. I think the money is justified by the excellent service.

No download limit restrictions, no port blocking.
Online gaming has been an absolute pleasure.

I run several machines through the Zen connection, 2 on winxp, Mac OSX on my wife's machine and a linux box. No problems under any O/S

(P.s. I don't work for Zen, I am just very satisfied with their service)

Hope this helps.
