I've never heard of them before, but apparently they are resellers of Entanet for BT-based services and Tiscali Wholesale for LLU, so I suppose they're as good as the services they're reselling. Small companies tend to have better, more personal customer service of course.

Indeed. A good point. It's perhaps unfair to say that I would find that offputting, as such a reseller is not the master of their own destiny, as it were.

I see they advertise native ipv6, which would make them one of only two such providers, aside AAISP, unless I've missed anyone.

Zen tell me that they will be offering (presumably native via PPP) IPv6 in Q4 2011.

Goscomb advertises reasonably generous but usage policies for business users, much more cost effective than AAISP for very heavy users, but Zen is much more generous with usage and Demon's truly-unlimited usage deals (for business customers only)  are unbeatable value.

I looked at this ISP since seeing this thread.

Their line checker told me yesterday I could have 24mb LLU service which I was considering, now this morning the web page has been altered, the LLU service is now showing as BE LLU with a 6 month contract,higher price and is now NOT available to me.

I note also that their pages make no mention of VAT with the displayed prices for home or business use,wonder if they are inclusive?
