Although this is a non-commercial website I have no hesitation in recommending Madasafish as an internet broadband server and phone service. They have been reliable and helpful over a long period, most spam is weeded out at source and they also host this website. If you are having problems with your ISP why not migrate. I get a referral commission and you get an initial discount (webmaster).
