    Well i know for a fact that a house over property has a bbwhich i personally tested at ~3.5mbps. But then again its a BT BB and prolly only 4 meg.

    Does LLU net have advantage over regular in terms of speed ? Do i have to request something specific to LLU to get better speeds or is it by default for new customers ?

    The LLU of O2 (and some others) is adsl2+ ...which has significant advantages over the normal adsl used by ipstream users....however...on a long line it can be worse than adsl (but usually modems settings can be changed to compensate)..
    ...anyway...if your neigbour has 3.5mbs on ipstream...you should get a little faster on O2 LLU

    O2 will provide a free wireless router. Although its not yours and you will have to give it back if you leave.

    So, anyone on O2 used ~100gb without consequence ?

    did you read where I put 500gb+ is not unheard of? So far as I am aware NOBODY has ever been warned of overuse of the service...and I have looked!

    Do they mix-n-match features of the plans they offer ?
    I prefer a "premium" but want an N router, that according to website only comes as part of "pro" deal. (just getting ready to call them, gathering info). Also having statIP free would be nice :D

    not that I know of...but I believe the IPs are 'sticky' ans fixed to the router's mac
