    They are Best Buy recommended by Which. Reliability and customer services are rated high.

    Would you recommend it?

    I would recommend them in an instant, 13.50 per month for 8gig BB + wireless router and unlimited downloads. Customer service has been great, and i've had no issues with the broadband availability. Plus i got cashback from quidco :)
    :grin: PPI Reclaimed £15,500 - between 2008 & 2014 :grin:
    :grin:Mortgage Free - 15th July 2009 :grin:
    :grin: Debt Free - 14th Jan 2011 :grin:
    It's possible.
  • I had not thought of checking on quidco, I have thanked you for the good tip!
  • Be are good, but they use the same infrastructure as O2 so don't discount O2 just because they're O2. There's cashback available for O2 on topcashback too and it's also cheaper if you're an O2 customer already. The only difference is that O2 caps their service at 20Mb whereas Be can go to 24Mb if your line supports it, but for speeds over 18Mb-ish you'd need to virtually live in the exchange anyway so you probably wouldn't notice any difference.

    The reviews on O2 BB are rated high. Worth reading about it and then make the choice - at the moment O2 has three months free before charges kick - Check It Out!

    Would highly recommend Be - as said, O2 are cheaper and almost as good.

    I wouldn't. The only bonus is the upload speed.

    O2 use the same infrastructure (same company), are at least 30% cheaper, and offer the same speeds.

    As stated previously O2 and BE use same infrastructure, one thing to note ,if you are able to receive there LLU service then i thiink this is good, however the IP stream service is v.patchy, users on o2 broadband forums reporting months of slow speed problems, with their cs being of no help.

    Just an update, I've signed up with O2, I could not justify the higher cost really, O2 even scores slightly higher in reviews, and they seem to be more user friendly.

    thank you everyone for your help
