Just upgraded from an 8 meg BT line to a 20 meg O2 line, stunning difference ;D

O2 broadband on the way for me, can't wait.

It sounds crazy...but it's not so bad.

And i've had better, because I lived in Liverpool 2006-08.  I've had 'normal' internet!

It seemed slow at first, but i've gotten used to it - it's fine for browsing (okay, sort of a bit sluggish).  Downloads and YouTube and such are places long forgotten though.  Soon to be re-visited, I hope!

Anyhow, i'm quite pleased to have entertained you all...!

i'd much rather pay 10-20 a month to them for 10-20mb line than those eircom cretins at 56 euro a month for 3mb

One thing I love about Be broadband is the constantly low pings (well, low for me anyway). I just wish I lived nearer than 3.5km to my exchange.

It's the best ping that I'm probably going to get as I live too far from the exchange to get anything better. It's also a lot better than 80+ I used to get with BT.

How'd you manage that, I though BE only went up to 24mb, have they upped their packages?
They do only offer up to 24mb at the moment, that's just a glitch with the ever reliable and accurate speedtest.net. I think the funniest I've seen is like 200,000mb download and 150,000mb upload. I do know that Be have been testing line bonding though in some parts of London, which would offer up to 48mb, although you'd have to pay for two telephone lines. I wouldn't benefit from it though as I'm only connected at 9,207kbps.
