    If you sign up to be with quidco this month, you get £40 cashback plus another £40 credited to your account (or £40 in Game vouchers) plus free connection (normally £24)

    I'm currently with Madasafish and although I've had a good service with no line dropping etc (so haven't had to call customer service at all), I've read postings from others which report how the customer service has got worse, so I'm dubious about renewing for another 12 month deal. Their sister company PlusNet has a £5.99 per month deal but I think the real download speed may be very reduced.

    It's heartening to hear that there seem to be some good reports here of Be (reminds me of comments that Madasafish used to get!)

    I like the "unlimited" tag of Be value. Although it is £13.50 per month, if you can get a £40 credit on you acount, then this would seem to give you 3 months free (I guess it's a 12 month contract?).

    Incidentally BE seem to have disappeared from Quidco, but are at Topcashback but only with their home page "£40 credit on you account..." offer mentioned there, so I do NOT think you can get actual cashback from the site PLUS Be's £40 credit.

    Has anyone got any BAD experiences of Be?

    Do you notice much reduced download speeds in the evening?

    12 months for value or 3 for the other 2 packages https://www.bethere.co.uk/broadbandcomparision.do

    You could alos try O2 as they are the same company - they have more quidco cashback I think and discount if you are an o2 mobile customer

    Ah right, it's under the name BeThere.
    No still there. That £80 + £24 offer is till 31/3/09
    Where does the £80 + £24 come in? The quidco entry looks similar to the topcashback entry which just seems to repeat the offer that is on Be's home page - this is the Quidco entry:
    Exclusive offer for Quidco members:

    NO CONNECTION FEE and a FREE GIFT until 31st March:

    Code: QuidcoGame - Free connection and £40 of GAME vouchers

    Code: QuidcoCredit - Free connection and £40 credit on your account.

    Terms Apply, see bethere.co.uk/termsandconditions. Members can only use one code. Both codes end midnight 31st March, and can be applied to all bethere products.

    For genuine tracked transactions completed wholly online, you can earn:
    £40 for broadband
    The game vouchers or credit to your account is the same as offered on Be's home page. Also the above seems a bit ambigous - the £40 mentioned on the bottom line could simply be the standard £40 offer that any new Be customer can get. Also I can't see where you get the £80 + £24 from?

    Edit: Ah, I assume your £80 is assuming that you get the £40 from Be and an extra £40 cashback from Quidco? And the £24 is the free connection fee.

    (If you really can get 2 bites of the cherry like that, then I may opt for topcashback as they won't deduct a subscription fee)
