BE Broadband in York

Hi people.

My current isp is orange and I am thinking of moving to BE. They are llu'd in my exchange.

I have 2 questions.

1, is there anyone out there in York with BE? What are they like.

2, do I need to get line rental from BE or can I keep my paying bt for my line rental.

Thanks

    If you can get BE then you can get 02 as well -same network, as 02 own BE. I suggest you look at both.
    Horange are one of the worst ISP's around, O2/BE are one of the best. Not a difficult decision.

  • Ok, thank you. Would I need to get my line rental with them to get the best out of my line?

    Though O2 do offer a line rental of only £7.50 if you don't want a call package.
