    Primus DNS is very slow. Use http://www.opendns.com for faster DNS resolutions.
    All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy.

    What are Primus like on p2p? Do they throttle at all?

    I have been offered line rental and up to 8meg BB for 23.99 as an existing option 2 customer. This is unfortunately for 18 month contract only.

    Also what is it like for online gaming, as I am soon to buy a PS3?

    Thanks, j.

  • Is this really that good of a deal??

    1Mb speeds for £14.99pm? Why bother when you can get 8Mb speeds and unlimited usage from Eclipse Internet?:confused:

    Can anyone tell me why Primus never figure in any of the comparison sites for BB. They are not mentioned by Martin/MSE except in this thread and yet most of the users are fairly satisfied with them. I am still trying to get a beter deal but no luck so far and am reluctant to sign up for 18 months.

    The difference between the £22.99 per month quoted to me and the £23.99 per month actual is that they give you the first month of line rental free, so this knocks off £11 for the first year. Not quite £22.99 but almost.

    To be truthful I dont know the answer to your question but I heard of them through this thread.I will say this for them I've just done a 12month contract 3 months into a 18th month contract and am a very heavy user I've only had 1 problem with them on the week end when bt where doing some thing to the line all in all thats better then most . May be the mods could fag your question with Martin

    Why don't you phone them - it costs nothing, as does their customer service - all freephone. Here is the number 0800 036 0094, this will get you customer services or sales.
