Madasafish broadband review: Max Premier

MADASAFISH - the only broadband provider to be named after an underwater denizen with issues - has been quietly ticking along in the background for many, many years now.

Yet it is only recently - with a new advertising campaign highlighting the virtues of not-so-cheap broadband - that Madasafish broadband has been coming to the fore as potential force to be reckoned with in the broadband market.

Now owned by Plusnet

So much so, in fact, that it was snapped up by the Brightview group (i.e. BT) and merged with Plusnet.

Alll indications are that Madasafish has continued to operate with the same excellent service and, since the ISP boasts a bundle of trophies that would make Kelly Holmes blush, that can't be bad.

Madasafish is renowned for its superb customer service and reliability, so one can excuse the rather steep price for this Madasafish Max Premier broadband package.

Despite the current 6 month introductory offer which saves a few pounds a month, it is clear that Madasafish is positioning itself as the 'you get what you pay for' broadband provider.

50GB download allowance

The Madasafish Max Premier is the company's flagship product, offering speeds of up to 8Mb with a colossal 50GB usage allowance.

That should be enough even for very heavy web users and is in fact more generous than many 'unlimited' packages when you consider the restrictions in their fair use policies.

Free phonecalls if you take line rental

If you opt to take line rental with Madasafish - currently only £11.25 a month, compared with BT's £11.54 - they'll throw in free evening and weekend calls in the form of their Talk Free home phone package.

Slightly overpriced for home users?

While you get a free wireless networking kit, free static IP address and enjoy Madasafish's excellent customer service, we wonder whether Madasafish Max Premier broadband is perhaps just a little overpriced for home users?

The answer to that will depend on how important you consider reliability and peace of mind when it comes to your broadband connection.
