Best Service Provider from these 3...

[Adams_16v]

my mate at work is on bethere.

hes had nothing buy problems and downtime since he started with it! he seems to be constantly on to them to get a good service!

 

[Adam]

dont get me wrong all providers need to do work on their service so there are going to be issue with downtime and so on but Be are one of the providers that actaully tell you what is going on and give you helpfull info.

Hope your right. I'm off to try get my old man off the phone so I can ring be. Will post back in this thread with what they can offer.

cheers for the advice Ad

no probs mate

we shall wait for the news lol

don't f**king believe it - spoke to some woman at Be broadband, and she said because of my distance from the exchange (around 2km) I won't get more than 6/7 mbps!!! If it's a good connection, might still be worth the upgrade as I'm getting a constant 4meg strong wireless at the mo with Orange. But Be lite is £14 a month and Orange is £18 :S

foook £85 thats unlreal. our lease lines at work cost around that and basically you get your own direct connection (1:1 centention ratio)

edit just seen your post, so you get all of the full services for £85, right ok

^^^^^^^

It was a good deal untill the internet stopped being 20mb as my other half downloads loads on his pc, we often have the xbox on live and i have my laptop on the go all at the same time.
Now that has gone to 1mb and virgin basically are saying tough and the customer service is terrible 1 hour on hold earlier. We are going through the written complaint procedure now as they say we can not leave or downgrade

Where are you to get a leased line for £85 a month?!
And is it like, 56k or something?

Very cheap that..

For the past 6 years I have worked for several ADSL internet ISP's

BT, Bulldog, Orange/Wanadoo

but I use sky - excellent fault free service (all customer service sucks as they companies pay peanuts so don't ever let that put you off).

You could get VDSL, HDSL or a Trunk Level connection for that price

Ripped off:boring:

sorry to bore you Sib

but its apparent you didn't read it is not just broadband for £85 :S

The point is virgin are crap with customer service and broadband provision

I've been with BT for quite a while. Apart from India answering you (which was irritating at first, however the other day I had to re-load my broadband onto a new lap-top and the Indian guy was spot on!) I have found BT really good.
