BE Internet provider

On Broadband Choices BE is showing as the cheapest broadband offer (broadband only) - £8.50 for 10Mb speed and unlimited download. Notice BE isn't included on any discussion here - a good ISP or one to avoid?

Excellent ISP - I have been with them since January 2008. And £8.50 is a very good price for their Value package, and I suspect is a half-price discount period. (Broadband and phone [evening and weekend calls] is £9.00).

Note: Up to 10meg is actually up to 12meg ... you get whatever your line can support up to a maximum of 12meg.

I am with BE. Never had any problems.

Be is provided by O2, so technically there should be no difference in the service, it's just a different choice of tariffs. And their tech support is generally highly rated. but you will pay more than on 02.

Not exactly. BE is a separate entity to O2 but they share many resources. (In fact, O2 LLU uses the BE network/equipment but then connects to their own user-management systems).

Perhaps I should have said that they are both part of Telefonica?

Highly recommended. I'm with them for many years now.

We were with Be for several years. Never had any problems with them - we only left to get a much faster service with BT Infinity.

Have been a happy Be customer for over 5 years - they might not be the cheapest, but they certainly do deliver high speed, unthrottled internet access.
