Broadband speeds

[Robbie]

Hey,

I'm interested in BeThere/o2 Broadband, but wondering what kind of speeds I'd get with the 16mb package,

You are around 2.56 kilometres from your exchange (as the crow flies).

Is the exchange distance, any ideas?
Thanks

If you can get a cable service, then distance doesnt affect speed

[Stephen!]

Indeed. That's why I hardly ever see VM cable customers complaining.

I was on VM but they've disconnected me as a customer, and customer services say the reason is on their computer as 'disconnect customer', so I'm no longer with them :|

I'm with VM and for the majority of the time my internet is down.

Thats probably because chavs have vandalised the cable box on your road most likely. I doubt they'd have bad service when they have a 5 star rating from ingear.

Yeah, you may aswell go with a standard ADSL service at that distance or just go with an 8Mbps backage from Be/o2.

I only go by user ratings, not by 1 person who is a TV show or something

Don't expect 16mb speeds, very very very very very (as in about 10%) of the servers in the world won't allow you download over 700kbp/s lol

Steer away from virgin's ADSL service as it's meant to be absolutely crap lol

I have the 8mbps one of that and I'm currently getting approx 5mbps at peak times Very happy with it.
