Comparing schools....
Keep in mind that I wasn't asking anyone to necessarily compare DL programs, but to comment on your experience. I can compare everyone's response.
Great comments all.

Hello folks,
I just started a couple of weeks ago the bristol.gs course.
As said before the learning material from bristol is just about passing the exams with success.
but it's just fine for me as I don't have to much time to spend in passing my theory...
I would recommend bristol to those who already have a strong aeronautical background and just need to have their jaa theory to continue their career.

Does anyone have any experience with what is now BY FAR the cheapest? It is very reputable in the field of aviation, and aviation training material.

Bristol every time.
There is always somebody to help, from various sources; forums, email. or telephone.
Also, other students are a minefield of information on the dedicated forum - you feel you are never alone.
Granted, not the cheapest, but is does what is says on the box!
(speaking as one who DID try another provider first, and switched to Bristol after receiving short thrift from the first lot, who I won't name on on Pprune)

Bristol Groundschool
Sat my first 8 with Bristol GS, and will the last 6!
From my experience:
"Bristol GS" prepares you very well for the Exams. Not only with the Computer Software, Books, Question bank etc..
but also with the 2 week revision course that gets you up to peak performance right before the sittings.
What i also find of importance are the excellent Ground Instructor that you can relate to, not only because they have credible backgrounds.
Even though very intense we still had good laughs on some quite amusing side stories.
Sored an average in the mid-90's. Maybe it helped that Bristol.Gs equips us students with the essential knowledge for passing the Exams without overloading with matter that isn't crucial for passing the written.

CATS all the way for me, they have a great reputation, high pass rates and are very helpful when I have spoke to them, they have by far one of the highest pass rates in the uk (So Why Not?) I did my research for months to choose this school and in my eyes Bristol is a Rip Off price wise..........Yes ok, for what I have heard it may be good but it is far to expensive for what you get, Why pay that silly £1400 extra 
than CATS at £999 
, when you can use that spare money to fly and gain a night qualification and a few more hours general flying? After all CATS have V. High pass rates

CATS online
The thing about not knowing what course is best / cheapest favours CATS as you can view the entire first subject for free www.catsground.com/go/demo which then counts towards your training
you can then decide if you like the style of the system
I have friends who were already at other schools who have just bought extra subjects at CATS for the quality and ease of use of the system
as for its price you really do save money and it all counts
