o2 Broadband

khevolution · 2 Apr 2012 at 11:00

since moving out of my parents home a year ago, ive been without broadband and my phone is my only real source to the internet, but now im in a situation where i might be able to get broadband, albeit cheap one, and ive been offered broadband from o2 for what i would call i resonable price. question is ive seen a few reviews ( http://www.broadband-expert.co.uk/broadband-reviews/o2-broadband-reviews ) which make me a bit wary, but i have read a few good reviews on them else where.

Anybody on here with o2 broadband, and any honest reviews of them?

No O2 LLU for you. Sky Unlimited is the best option if you require something immediately but it may be wise to hold off as FTTC is planned (01/06/2012).

What does the wholesale checker report? https://www.btwholesale.com/pages/s...unity/Coverage/ADSL_Availibility_Checker.html

looks like my exchange is ADSL only with peak speeds of 7-8meg, would it be worth holding out for the FTTC and would the speeds increase?

You can get ADSL2+ from other providers. What does the wholesale checker report?
