So, o2 are going to cut me off because of high usage...

Supercow · 2 Aug 2010 at 21:30

... even though I have an "unlimited" usage contract on a non LLU exchange.
I can kinda understand why, given the fact it's a non LLU exchange and everyone shares the same hardware, but I really havent downloaded more than ever before.

Does anyone have any advice for me, or shouldI just look for another provider?
If so, whos currently highly rated, still Be there?

Any advice welcomed

If you can get cable, get 50Mb.

Best consumer connection I've had bar none.

All the contracts contain a "reasonable use" clause. You can try to argue with them, but you're on the back foot really since you signed the contract.

No such luck for me, I checked a while ago

Yea, I can appreciate that, hence why I wont bother arguing.

O2 Access recently changed from unlimited to 40GB/month usage, even though their main page still wrongfully shows 'unlimited'.

Leave O2, adsl24 are supposed to be pretty good!

I cant recommend Be enough. Im on their upto 24mb service and havent been capped or throttled once.

I own my own LTD company, what are the benefits to the below "office" connection bundles?

To be fair if he's on O2 Access then I imagine that's only because O2/Be LLU aren't available.

Supercow · 2 Aug 2010 at 21:49

Yeap, that is the case.
I cant seem to swap to be there, given O2 owns them now - just checked availability on Be*'s site

O2 sell LLU but will provide you the option of Access (non-LLU) if the former isn't available. Be are wholly LLU, that's why you cannot choose them as a provider.

Nope, thats not it... it's because I'm with O2

If your exchange is Non-LLU then you can't order Be. They've probably got confused because your internet is currently supplied by O2 (albeit a non-LLU service).
