In Jan I was talking to O2 about a mobile phone issue and they gave me the sales patter about their BB at £7.50 a month - I was interested as I was paying £15 to PlusNet. Told them I was busy would think about it, agreed she would call me back following week. A couple of hours later she called back (I think end of month sales targets etc) and offered me free for 12 months after that I could decided to stay at £7.50 or go elsewhere. I agreed there & then.

I got PAC code, box arrived a few days later and I was up & running last Friday. Speed much faster than my previous lot, excellent tech support (they answer their 0800 number within a few rings) although despite their best efforts we were unable to set up my Linksys box - will deal with that in due course but their box works fine.

I signed up last night (had to go and use neighbours PC to do it though, see other thread about my problems) and so far have been impressed with the communications from them. Have been given a date of the 3rd March for activation.

We're on! Seems a bit quicker but nowhere near 8 ... still, quicker than previous supplier and much cheaper ... we;re happy

Just found this thread!

I signed up to switch from Orange to o2 recently. Got an activation date of 29th Feb today. Have to say o2 service has been excellent so far - we had a problem of the cc company blocking the transaction as their anti fraud thing had triggered.
o2 people on the phone new their stuff and the problem was resolved quickly and efficiently - best of all its freephone and even at peak times we got through in less than 5 minutes.

Nice to see that everyone is happy so far,but we must keep this to ourselves........

My best download result so far:



My best upload result:



It would be nice to see other peoples speed test results,using the site above,as it is also the one that o2 ask me to use when they ring me.

other speedtests have it at about 13/14MB based on a router sync speed of about 18MB

Might seem low in comparison to others but I'm very happy with it since we're a LONG way away from the exchange. Our previous ISP managed around 2MB eventually, although it was 512kb only a year ago.
