So far Bitstamp seems to be a very good compromise:
- Low fees
- Not too many identification hassles
- No withdraw or deposit limit
- Pretty liquid market
- Good customer service
In other words another planet compared to Intersango.

Switched from Intersango to Bitstamp about a year ago and never had any problems with them.

Intersango is the oldest and largest exchange to not get hacked. Your money is probably safer there than any other exchange.
Nope, that would be Bitcoin-Central.net, open-source exchange, older than Britcoin (aka Intersango). Operating smoothly since December 2010. Never hacked.Since Intersango is apparently unable to keep it together we're launching a new GBP market. Lowest fees available (free incoming wires, 0.99 GBP outgoing wires, 0.498% trade fee)
Unfortunately you don't have a British bank account, so transfers can be a bit steep (10 pounds minimum for international transfers in most banks here).
I see now that Intersango have updated their Fees:
https://intersango.com/fees.php
It used to be ~1.25Euro for SEPA transfer, not it's 10 Euros.
I wonder do they really charge 10 Euros for SEPA...

This is really ugly, what those guys are doing. SEPA transfers actually cost about 0.35-0.40 EUR per transactions and fee can be paid by the receiver.
I am so happy I got my coin out of Intersango and I hope I never have to return and do any business with those 3 jokers.
You must be aware that Patrick doesn't even go out of bed, unless he's paid at least 10 EUR.

Ahh I guess you have a point if you just want to play the market but never cash out to fiat.
There are anon ways to cash out. 
That has always been one of the nice things about intersango. No identification hassle. It's not more than a slight inconvenience though, since your bank details identify you anyway when you deposit or cash out.
Not at all. I can open an account, send BTC to my address and trade. No bank gets involved.Ahh I guess you have a point if you just want to play the market but never cash out to fiat.

The only thing that prevents me from using bitcoincentral are the trading limits and the compulsory ID verification.

Bitcoin-central looks fantastic! I am certainly not going to dispute your age claim, as there is no point in promoting Intersango when they aren't accepting new signups. In fact, I will switch to promoting bitcoin-central. I would expect the GBP account to get shut down eventually for the same reason as the others did (too many small transfers and overhead for the bank considering the small average account balance). But UK residents should trade there now as the fees are lower than on localbitcoins, so I'll put a link in my sig, as soon as I figure out how to make a GBP deposit. Right now I am only seeing the French bank on my deposit screen. I'll post in the bitcoin-central thread about it.

OK guys, who was Nefario and what's with Intersango these days? I'm not seeing much activity there and it was just jumping this summer??
I do hope this Intersango will not go under but let me know if this seems to be the case...it was a superb exchange!

These guys are security experts, which is why Intersango is the oldest and largest exchange to not get hacked. Your money is probably safer there than any other exchange.
Security experts that can't even secure their email accounts? Security experts that allow access codes to customer funds at MtGox to be included and published(!) in the source-code? Are you fucking kidding me? Do we live on the same planet?

The main problem is the closure of the UK bank acount. A lot of the UK transactions are going on at https://localbitcoins.com/ now. The euro account is fine though. Holding them responsible for bitcoinica, a company for which they do not even have access to all the financial information, is a bit far-fetched. That will get properly sorted out in court.

It's not hackers from outside I would be concerned about. Also, you are entirely wrong, they were and are fully responsible for bitcoinica and they have deliberatly stalled, some would even argue- sabotaged the process of returning customer funds.

Nefario used to run GLBSE and he and the Intersango/Bitcoinica team are connected in various ways. Currently both are holding (lots of) their former customers money hostage.
Get your money out of there and use another exchange would be my advise.
