There must be a lot of people out there like me who want nothing more from their broadband provider than a reliable Internet connection. I don’t need game servers, email, news and the plethora of other services ISP’s offer to entice new customers into their fold.<\/p>\n
For the last few years I’ve been running with Nildram<\/a> and I have to say I’m in general very pleased with their service but there are aspects to it that I think they could improve upon. For example, there’s all those services that I don’t want. Surely they could do themselves (and me) a favour by offering a raw service consisting of nothing more than a connection? Then there’s the reverse DNS service: Nildram<\/a> offer a way to modify a single address, but no solution for people like me who have a subnet. If I want me reverse DNS changed, I have to send them a support request. It’s a minor irritation but with all the competition out there, it might be the thing that tips the scales.<\/p>\n Last but not least, something I’d love to have is a whois entry against my subnet that points back to me, rather than my ISP. I don’t know of any provider that offers this but if anyone else does, I’d love to hear about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There must be a lot of people out there like me who want nothing more from their broadband provider than a reliable Internet connection.
