Orange Broadband?

[Chris1.4RT]

Anyone use this?

Currently on 4mbps Blueyonder for £25 per month.

If I switch back to BT line I can get Orange broadband (as I have Orange contract mobile phone) for free, saving me the £25 a month.

Just wondering if it's any good.

So is it any goooooooood?

Is that ADSL phoneline broadband malarky?

 

[Daz]

It is ADSL (over normal phone lines), yep.

doesn wandoooooooooooo have shitty 2gb caps?

the orange internet you get free (only if your tarif is over £30 a month) HAS A cap of 2GB, its rubbish

 

[Daz]

Heh, I can use 2GB a day!

Infact, I used 3.3GB in less than 2 hours the other night.. downloading Vista Beta 2

Im on wanadoo with a 2GB limit, have bin on it for about a year running 2 laptops off it, i cane downloads with all the torrents etc and never had to cut back, nothings ever bin said about going over the limit, i prob do 2GB every few days.

im wondering the same, looking at getting an orange phone contract and the broadband would save me 24bucks a month.

i noticed the 2gb limit but then you can upgrade to the unlimited for only £8 more and that still works out cheaper than my current o2 (shite) and pipex combined.

my only query is what is the quality of service like? anyone else currently got orange broadband?

my sister is on orange broadband and hasnt had any probs

 

[DaveJwxm]

in fact i have more with BT

 

[Josh@Renparts]

i work for orange (broadband side). they don't monitor the capping much. Just take the top 10% of users and recommend (by letter) that they upgrade their package. If you are on the capped service you can put yourself on the uncapped via their website. For 17.99 you can get.

Uncapped, Up to 8 meg, free called (voip) 24hrs to UK landlines. If your already a customer and want a free router and calls at 17.99 let me know and ill show you how it can be done.

shite

I've got a contrac tand the free. broadband. (i was with wanadoo anyway)

If you get the £30 mobile contract and go for the 2gb limit then its the £30 but if you want unlimited then its a tenner for the broadband. Still saved me as im now only paying the £10 for the broadband and had the £30 phone contract anyway.

thats my thinking, if the limits too low for me can just upgrade and itll still save me on my current bb, get a decent phone contract out of it aswel.
