I'm tempted but I've read so many bad things about it on www.adslguide.org and other websites and it's really putting me off signing up to a long term contract just to be messed about constantly.

anyone on it? just curious! ;)
 
I've posted a thread on the adslguide site hopefully someone who has taken it up can let me know how they've got on, my online usage should drop but if I need more I can always pay the extra £10/month for the 30gb cap. At the moment according to Nildram I use about 2.5Gb and that's with me downloading a ton of rubbish last month and going over the top on Xbox demos since last friday :p

Alternative is the £15/month AOL 1mb deal, my line can only get that so possibly worth it :p
 
well I've just signed up to this so I'll let you know how I get on, haven't requested my MAC code yet so I'm guessing it's done after I've recieved my phone :p
 
Not the best of starts, still awaiting the delivery of my phone, paid extra for it to be here by 12 (as I have the day off and wanted to do stuff!), nothing yet and it's after half 2. Confirmation email recieved on monday stating it'd be here today by 12.

Wouldn't mind but I'm at work tomorrow so they can't bloody deliver it.

so far 0% happy :p
 
An update

I now have my phone, took 3 calls to get it unbarred but it's working fine. I received nothing through the post telling me how to get the free broadband but after some digging on other forums I discovered you have to call up and request it.

I called 150, options 1, 4 then 1. got through to upgrades who put my through to the broadband signup line (there are NO 150 options to get to them apparently).

Gave my MAC address some details and opted for the additional £10 for an uncapped service.

3-5 working days I'll get my live box allowing anytime unlimited calls to UK landlines and 10 days after I'll have Orange/wannado take over my internet service.

Lets see what happens..
