hmm, doesn't offer me any Demon or Zen services (to name but two).

If I say I only want to spend <£20 I am only offerred low speed
services despite specifying 512k standard speed . If I hack the url of
the results page to
http://www.broadbandgenie.co.uk/broa...ce=2& speed=3
I get the 512k < £20 options. Otherwise the URL is
http://www.broadbandgenie.co.uk/broa...ce=2& speed=2

It offers me UKOnline 8000 which is not available from my exchange.

3/10 but it does say Beta so maybe 5/10 :-)

A nice new site that has potential

Good idea, but the site needs a lot of work.

It doesn't cover a very large list of ISPs (Plusnet are not in them,
neither are AAISP), and results returned using the "genie" are
different to those returned using the standard search.

It also, when using the standard search, came up with one cable
service for me, in an area without cable.
