Bethere broadband

[N!ck]

Can we get back on topic please :rolleyes: I just found this and I'm looking into new broadbands too. I considered this but I've been recommended many times to go with well-known ones. Bethere looks really good though, but apparantly too good to be true.

If tyou live relatively clost to your exchange then go for it.

I'm told that Be* Broadband isn't as good as it used to be. It got taken over by a company, think it was O2

Yeah, the Pro package hasn't been affected as badly by it though. Still one of the best you can get though.

some people say it's the worst but through tests ingear found that Virgin Media was the fastest aswell as the cheapest. I'm with them and they've really upped their game in the last few months.

It depends. During peak times you can almost guarantee that Be will give you the best results on speedtests. Offpeak, yes VM will probably beat it due to the method that the connection is delivered to your home. Be also has the best upload speed you can get in the UK as a widespread ISP. As far as downloading is concerned, Be is completely unlimited and they don't get grumpy when you use BitTorrent. Th upload speed also comes in handy there .

Thats now at peak time. Pretty good wouldn't you think?

It's not bad, but it depends on the max of your connection. With Be, generally the speed during peak time is the same as off-peak - the fastest the connection will go.

I'm just over 1 kilometre away from my nearest exchange in my old house (moved out for refurb) and I'm about 1.5km away from my nearest exchange in my current house. However, it says I can get 2mbps or greater in my old house... and 6.5mbps or greater in my current house.

I'm with AOL and when I move back in to my old house I'm going to move to the best ISP I can find... at the moment it looks like BT.. I'm going to probably create a new thread about it and not steal this guys thread but bethere was an option and I want to hear more about them

Well my mum and dad mentioned trying to cut the phone, gas and electric bills so I took the chance to try and persuade them to get Be broadband instead of BT. We're currently paying BT £24.99 a month for broadband alone, not including line rental and phone bills (so in reality, its about £40 a month roughly)

www.bethere.co.uk offer Be unlimited for £18, with faster speeds than what we have now and for £5 cheaper. Unmetered downloads etc., which is good, because we'd probably be suspended otherwise, lol. The BT home hub is absolute ****e too, so I'll be glad to get rid of it :rolleyes:

Anyway, is anybody else with Be and are they any good? I've read some reviews, some say its crap some say its absolutely brilliant, dunno what to trust so I need more opinions, hehe.

Sounds quite good, however like I mentioned in another thread...they seem very under rated, but Talk Talk.

16.39 a month and that gets you free evening and weekend calls on the landline, free broadband and includes line rental?
