Bulldog had recently announced that it was not taking on anymore domestic customers while it was in negotiations to sell itself, now Bulldog is owned by Pipex and is signing up new customers again.
Here is the announcement:

Now the question, am I happy with Bulldog? Well, they are cheap and they do not curb P2P traffic, however this might change under Pipex, but for now they are OK. There is plenty of room for improvement, for example, they were late in getting me switched over from BT to their network (leaving me without phone or internet connection for 2 – 3 weeks) and there was a fault which stopped friends and relatives calling me when the switch over was completed. Nevertheless, I understand that these faults were down to dirty tricks by BT engineers, i.e. deliberately creating faults so that Bulldog would be blamed for them.
I still have one or two issues to be sorted out but nothing that would make me start looking for another ISP at the moment.
Anyway, good luck in choosing your new ISP.
