Default Orange broadband

Been on AOL £19.99 for about 5 years and have been thinking of changing for some time. BT reckon I can only get 0.5mb, Samknows reckons 4mb.

Anyway, Orange called me
  • £10/m Unlimited up to 8mb (he tested it and reckons realistically 3mb)
  • Livebox modem supporting up to 6 users
  • An adaptor that plugs in for another phone line(with a new number) that gives you free anytime UK calls, free calls to 30 countries and free calls to other Orange users.
Anybody got any experience with this package?
Is it any good regarding reliability, speed, outages etc?
Recommend another? (I was considering Bethere)

Not that bothered about the cost, I just want reliability and reasonable speed.

Thanks

Mick

Exactly my experience. I'd been with Freeserve from the beginning, but Orange just screwed it up for me.
Now with BT which has been A1, but that doesn't help you.
