Broadband...

Does anyone use 02's broadband service? I'm trying to save myself some money at the moment and I noticed they are offering discounts to current customers. I just want to know if they are any good and worth going with etc. Also my current service (which is £20 a month) has recently started having a lot of down time, which is really annoying when trying to play World of Warcraft! hehe

Oh look, there's a giant thread on page one, with the title "Any opinions on o2 broadband".

One thing that's always bemused me about this forum is why people continue to post if it pains them so much?

Tolien is a moderator and is probably obliged to post things like this in order to keep the forums neat and tidy.

i'm on Bethere owned by o2 i would NOT recommend my current service = http://www.speedtest.net/result/349061150.png

Bare in mind I used to have BT8mb and got 6-10ping and 8mb constant download, moved to be and got 15mb down and 20 ping, and now look what i get with them after only a year's service!

Pings really bad now with O2 you have no idea what it's going to be like at any time of the day.

Can hardly say that yet!! Be sent an email a few days ago saying that they were well aware of, and are working on the ping problem.

Yeah mate, O2 / Be* are working on the ping issues, they've had a massive infulx of customers over the last few months and are seriously injecting money into their network to sort these issues. Better than most ISPs that wouldnt even acknowledge this if it was happening on their network.

Send me a mail, I can get you fastest speed in your area on O2 for £7.50 a month, weather you're an O2 customer or not.

Agreed.

I've only been with O2 for a couple of months and I'm very pleased with the service at only £12.50 a month.

I was sceptical at first that I could get a good broadband service for so little money but I'm pleased to be proven wrong in this case

I have been suffering from a DNS issue recently but I've used Open DNS to solve the problem.
