I have the up-to-8mbit service, and generally get over 7, so I'm happy. No download limits for me either.

The router they give you is pooh! I'm on my second and it still can drop wireless access for upto a day at a time.

I've had it at 2 places & been very happy with both the provision and the service. It works, is good value & although they now say there is a fair usage cap, never tapped it.

Is this only available on ADSL+ lines?

We've been on it for a year now - on the unlimited deal. Yes the router is a little temperamental, but otherwise no complaints. Even got it through Quidco.

Default I'm with O2 ...

Price just about to jump from £15p/m to £18p/m ... 20mb line albeit they advised I'd see 17mb yet I really only get about 8mb speed. I'm thinking of moving on TBH.

TX.
