I signed up for Be’s 24 Mb/s ADSL2+ service when they were offering it for £20 a month for life, and I’ve just been told that the service should be connected next Tuesday. It’s all very exciting!
Of course, I’m unlikely to actually get 24Mb/s, because it all depends on line quality. But according to SamKnows I’m 600m from the exchange as the crow flies (which may well not be as the wire runs). That’s closer than many, so it will be interesting to see what speed I do get.
The question is, what am I going to use all that bandwidth for, apart from the obvious?
If you find the service is available in your area, contact me and we’ll come to a mutually beneficial arrangement.
I got it too, it’s crap. I am 700-800m from the exchange and they only manayed 5.8Mb/s. I can live with that especally with 1Mb/s uplink but compared to Bulldog on anothe rline in the same building, I get a good even 3.6Mb/s throughput on Bulldog all day every day and about 250Mb/s average on Be, this actually fluctuates between 400Kb/s and 5Mb/s.
I dont mean to put you off though, but keep this up to date with what happens

How’s the BE thing going? Apart from the outrageously erroneous billing, not customer service and 5 days without a phone, my Bulldog service now seems to be quite good!
Pretty good. I regularly get 1.2MB/s from sites like Fileplanet. I get occasional 10-minute dropouts but my usage patterns means I only notice this about once a month.
