Ashley Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Yo. So BT may finally be getting their arses into gear and we're looking for contractless (well, no more than 6 months) broadband. Ideally with at least 25GB (rough guess, need to figure out exactly later on) and 8 speed. Mostly seems to be pointing to BE or PlusNet. Anyone reccomend one or the other? (and this all depends on the phone line being fine but its not active til Thursday...apparently) Or anyone got any other offers for me? Cheers peeps.
Mr_Odwin Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I was staying with family at the weekend and they have Plusnet internet. I was trying to use a torrent and the speed was abysmal. A bit of googling lead me to this. If you can schedule your torrents for over night then it'll be fine. If you can't and you'll ever need something between 4pm and 10pm then get used to seeing something like "Total Speed: 25KB".
KKOB Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I had Be last year and thought it was brilliant!!! If you get the Be Unlimited package you have a 3 month minimum length i think then you need to give them a months notice or something. Don't get Be Value anywho.

But thanks for the advice Odwin, and you too Takeo.
Shorty Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 We use Be here and no complaints get download speeds of up to 1.1mb/s. Ash if you decide to go with Be, can you let me refer you? Gets us a free month
gaggle64 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I love PlusNet myself, their download speeds aren't very fast but they're the best if you like to play a lot of online games - reasonably low ping and a stable connection every time.
Sanchez Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 be man be! Moving to be at the end of the month.

Ashley Posted October 24, 2008 Author Posted October 24, 2008 Gone with Plusnet as BE isn't in our area (which is a pain). Sorry Shorty.
