:confused:

Am currently with BT (have been for about 4 years...) Has been a very reliable service in terms of no outages that I can remember. However browsing the interent seems quite slow (connection speed is 5.5MB, but browsing seems slower especially u-tube videos etc keep pausing to download).
I presume that this is due to throttling or profiling? Anyway was thinking about moving to BE* as they are LLU based was hoping they will be better. Am thinking aout the lite package (upto 8MB) with unlimited downloads ie no capping?

Anyone recommend them? Or is there a better isp to go for? Also is LLU actually better or not? Could also go for sky in my area? Or should I get forget LLU and go for someone like Fast.co.uk or ADSL24??

PS am based in hetfordshire/london border area and am about 2km from my exchange...

ANY help appreciated. Cheers! ;)
 
No worries about signing up to cable as i don't have it in my area! :rolleyes:
Might have to go with Be* after all then, I've only heard good things about them so far.....Just a bit miffed at having to pay to sign up with them and also if i want to leave as they are LLU based.
Oh well... c'est la vie!

;)

ps: thanks for the replies so far guys, any other views and comments also welcome!
 
If you're signing up to BE and dont wanna pay then just signup over the phone & say you're thinking of signing up but you're not sure about the setup fee. Thats what I did & they waived it ;)
 
only problem is its 12 month contract on BE lite...if it was monthly i would be signing up asap
 
the upto 24mb for £24 is a 3 month contract they were the fasted isp i ever had even when i was only getting 9mb were i used to live , faster and lower pings i getting now with virgin media i ordered it just after new years this year no fee to pay and it was on and playing the WoW:TBC beta again in now time at all (less than 2 weeks it was

Check your distance from the exchange on samknows first.
If you're over 2Km then you'll prob only get a maximum of 8mb anyway...

No referrals!

Be Lite doesn't exist anymore*. It's been replaced by Be Value.

* - Existing customers can continue on Be Lite as per their contract but it's effectively a dead product for new customers.
