Slingshot have been up front with their set up and costing even covering the price difference, winter/summer. My internet speed is a vast improvement over my last provider and no problems as yet!
Pros
The offer of "bundling" worked a treat, cost wise!
Cons
I only needed help, once and that took ages to come. So maybe, more staff needed.
