We can only get the Access package for £17.50. Is this as good a quality as their cheaper packages????

It is "normal" bt type adsl.

Seems a bit expensive compared with other bt type isps (though they give you unlimited downloads if you use lots). The £17.50 is a special price for o2 mobile customers - the standard price is £22.50.

It is cheaper than we are paying now - Idnet £24.99 pm. It also has good reviews, which I prefer if I am tied in for 12 months........

Thanks

My exchange is being O2 enabled on 30/6 (according to "samknows") and I have registered interest on the 02 site but not heard anything yet.

Would anyone know how long after the exchange is enabled they usually take to start connecting people please?

Appologies for posting this here as well as on the Techi board but I thought I might get more of a response in this thread and the answer if anyone knows may be helpful to several people who have singed up to O2 broadband.

I have decided to switch form AOL to O2 broadband.

When I get the O2 wireless box I will want to make some changes such as the network name and set it up from WEP to WPA. I have 3 computers / laptops set up already to that name and WPA pre-shared key so the idea is that once I have set the router to the same name and WPA key the computers and laptops should connect wirelessly without having to make any changes to them.

To make the changes I would like to read the user manual for the O2 wireless box so does anybody know where I can download one;) ?

Depending (1) which o2 package you have signed up to - eg o2 Access is just the same BTw product as anyone elses (2) what box you already have; then you COULD potentially continue to use your existing box and just revise its ADSL connection settings to use the new o2 service whether BTw or o2/Be ADLS2+ LLU ones.

So 1) which service you signed up to ? 2) what box you got now brand/model number.

See my o2/Be features summary for links to both the boxes o2 loan out at:

Note that the o2 boxes have an o2 tailored firmware and NOT the generic Thomson.

i laughed when i read your post because i thought i had wrote that under a different name:rotfl: :rotfl: thats exactly what i planned to do from aol to o2,
i phoned o2 and they said although i could keep all the same settings ie wpa and ssid etc... the guy said because it's a different router i would still have to put the settings into other devices such as laptops and wii etc...

can anyone confirm if this would be correct as i would of thought keeping the same settings would do the trick
