Ghozer Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Be Broadband have been around a few months, and I have a friend down in manchester who uses them (hes on 7.7/1.2mb) and he says the service is excellent... and reliable.. they are only available in 2 or 3 areas of sheffield at the moment, however it may be worth a look... UP TO 24mb down, and 1.3mb up for £24 / month - cant go wrong really.. https://www.bethere.co.uk/ (one thing that gets me about DSL, they should charge £24 if you get the full speed, if you get a lower speed, they should charge you less.. what a ripoff imho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steev Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Can't please some geeks... I'd be happy with 7.7/1.2 stable for £25 a month, dang... Saying that, there's not a silly 10GB a month limit on that or owt is there? I can do that in Linux distros within a week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgksheff Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 ....... how can I tgell what my usage is ........ Download something like NetMeter which will give you daily, weekly and monthly totals. Check how far you are from your exchange, though. Maximum speeds drop of rapidly as you get further away.

Ivor&Mel Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I'm seriously considering a move to Be since they're now available on the Broomhill exchange. If you want to get a feel for the service, there's an unofficial forum here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
