Just recieved the box.. very impressed by the speed of their operation and always getting updated by text is handy.

How did it go?

Is there any download limit?

Finally, what modem is provided and what exactly are the cut downs from the modem?

Not received the text from O2 to say the line is connected... using Be* right now.

The box itself looks like an upgraded model of the one I received from Be*.. it's got a phone socket now and it's larger but very similar design.

I have read there's no download limits and the modem may have been downgraded with firmware to restrict VOIP from the box

EDIT: Just phoned customer services (0800 number, no waiting, uk call centre- i was impressed) and they've told me my activation date is tomorrow. Doh

Did you have to return the BE box?

Yup, I just received a pre-paid bag to send it back in

Excellent....I have literally joined Be last week and then after taking a contract out for an O2 mobile I noticed the offer for broadband....hopefully shoudn't be a problem.

Very good that there is no charge for returning the modem...

Im looking at joining O2 next month when i chuck out VM.

Was going to go with BT but O2 us a lot cheaper, the only down side is you dont get a VOIP phone.

I had BT (option 3, with the free phone) for a year.. think i used the phone 3 times and got so frustrated with the poor quality of it I stopped using it. Waste of money for me, but i don't know anyone else that's tried it.

Well, i've done it now. Went through quidco to see if i'll get £25 brucy bonus.

Process was easy.. plus i set up email -> sms (1000 free a month!)

We shall see how it goes

I'm an 02 mobile customer,and I've just been on Quidco,and it doesn't mention anything about getting cashback for a broadband connection,when you go into the merchant,just monthly/payg/sim only deals,although it does have a header for broadband when you get onto the 02 site.

Has it tracked back yet?

Have a look for 'o2 broadband' as it's own item, not o2 phones

Dammit, just seen it's gone up from 25 to 40 quid. !!!!!!. Yes, it's tracking
