So we moved house on Friday. We'd used Be for the last 3 years and they were amazing. I used to get 10MB/s with no traffic shaping or other restrictions.
In the new house the speed was 1.6MB/s. I have a friend who works for BT and he popped around and re-terminated the cables outside (and said they were wet when he first looked at them) and speed increased to just under 5MB/s.
It would seem that's the best I'll get with Be. They have no fibre offering yet.
My friend said my only option was to go for BT Infinity. I checked the web site and my postcode can get just under 40MB/s - a huge improvement. Then I did some browsing and found out that BT heavily traffic shape, which is not what I want.
I use BB mainly for browsing, gaming and d/l torrents. I can decide whether to keep Be and have half the speed I used to have but d/l what I like when I like, or whether to go for Infinity and have 4 times the speed I used to have for browsing, games and legitimate d/ls, but have torrents d/l at snail's pace.
What to do?
