Orange LLU

Hey Guys

Orange recently enabled my exchange for LLU, which finally gives me an option other than Talk talk and Aol, however i am skeptical as it appears orange has in the past year farmed out its infrastructure maintenance to BT who has subsequently been moving people off LLU and onto either IP stream "up to 8mbit" or the BT 21CN "up to 24mbit"

The guy on the phone assures me i would end up on the 21CN even though Sam knows is not showing this as been the case on my exchange.

He is also talking about a 150gb limit a month which seems quite low, and after that you are capped at a lower speed?? how can this be called an unlimited connection?

Is there anybody here who is on it and can shed some light on what is going on ?

Cheers

150GB per month is low? What the hell do you download?

LLU in general is usually pretty good, I'm on Sky's LLU which is awesome - I used to be with Orange but that was a standard ADSL connection about 4 years ago as they took over from Wanadoo - my connection sucked, I moved to ADSL24 - O2 and now Sky (LLU) who rock.

Hi MaX_PoWah

We are currently in the process of moving all of our customers over to our new broadband network, offering up to 20Mb speeds. If you have recently been moved onto our LLU network, I would expect that you would be moved to our new network later in the year. Further information can be found on our website at http://www.orange.co.uk/20megnetwork/.

I hope this helps.
