The Verdict

The quirky Madasafish has gained something of a reputation for quality internet provision and in particular for its customer service. Emphasising its honest, no nonsense approach, support for MACs as well as PCs and with a number of recent awards under its belt, Madasafish is well worth considering if you feel you may need special support setting up or running your broadband account.
