Quality of tesco broadband

Sick of paying a small fortune to BT so thinking of moving to tesco unlimited with up to 14 Mb. What are peoples' view on the broadband quality with tescos? i'm a bit worried i wont be able to get near 14 mb at peak times thus impacting lovefilm / internet viewing.

Sad i missed out the voucher deal too!

thx in advance.

    No personal experience but I think they are subject to a fair use policy rather than being unlimited

    Also looking at tesco broadband looking at reviews not looking good.
  • Ok, going to update here as finally got Tesco installed and been running the last month. Overall very happy with service. They have a freephone number (if you dial from a tesco phone) and on all occasions they have responded quickly and professionally.

    Finally the broadband speed. In general it's been just as quick as my original BT (none-FTTB) but I'm not complaining for £2.50 a month in first year! Contention in evenings seems to occur if we are heavily using it (ie lovefilm plus browsing plus someone streaming music).

    One point worth raising is I thought there was an option to pay full line rental in advance to save money but Tesco's deny knowledge of that.

    Still, I'm forecasted to save about £300 quid this year by switching from BT to Tescos which is great!
