Now on 24mb ADSL2 :-)
Just thought that I would let you know about my experiences with my new ISP - BEthere.co.uk
Switched to them last Monday from my old Pipex max 8mb connection... All I can say is I am glad I did, there customer service is fantastic - asked to get upgraded via there online ticket system and next day all was done.... I sync now at 17mb and upload sync 2.25 mb here is a quick speed test done Saturday afternoon to a London server via speedtest.net http://www.speedtest.net/result/196480722.png For anyone looking for a isp I can rate them very highly and am very impressed with the quality of service... I know I am not mega close to the exchange so I wont get the full 24mb service but ha-ho 15mb is better than pipex 6mb and 512k up www.bethere.co.uk cheers Andy |
Barsteward ;) I think I need to move, BEthere laughed at me telling me not to bother as I am over 4900m from the exchange.
Woe is me :( |
Yep. BeThere are very good.

I feel like infracting andy just for HAVING such a bloody fast 'net link (we need a green eyed monster smilie....) ;)
|
I'm guessing with that upload you must be on Be pro. I'm very jealous as I am only able to sync between 6-7mb so am on Value.
I agree they are good ISP, I've been with them since January and the only problems I have had are with my dodgy line.:thumb: |
Wouldnt go with BE if your with 02 though as you get discount if you have an O2 contract of 10 quid ;) though its just the same people, just a different name (ie O2 own BE)
Tony:) |
I'm still stuck on 1mb/256kb ADSL1. We cannot find a provider that has reasonable caps at a reasonable price. Currently we have 100Gb download cap per month for £29.99. Not been able to beat that yet :(

You're paying for 24meg bb but getting nowhere near that, is that something to shout about ?

I am just letting people know that BE internet are a decent isp and offer good service and speed..... why pay £20 for 8mb when you can get up to 24... my 15-17mb is better than my old crap pipex 6mb! for the same price Andy |
The speed test site wont give you full speed, download from newsgorups and see what speed you get
Mine downloads at 2.4MB a second but shows as less than 1Mb connection |
I'm on Be Internet too - very hard to fault them in any way - a rare thing in the world of ISPs! I had a text message at every stage while they were commissioning the line. Line activation was also completed ahead of schedule too!
Granted, I live about 1/2 Km from the Exchange, but I get very good speeds (normally around 17/18mb, but sometimes up above 20mb. And to cap it all I got email from them last month saying they were cutting the monthly charge by a fiver! |

I'm just downloading two episodes of QI (via BE*) and getting 1.4mb/s ... they will be here in 4 minutes -- amazing!

That's not too bad - you'll probably find in the small print that 20Mb is a theoretical maximum, much like Be
|
its says it gives you a static ip address, do you have to use this (better than dhcp?) also wouldnt it be a bad idea for getting busting on torrents?
|
You don't have to have a static ip address. They will still be able to trace you even if it was dynamic.
