I wouldn't touch BT Internet (as they were called when I used to be with them) with someone elses wangshaft.

But you would touch someone elses wangshaft.

Shaddup and unzip again

I suppose, in the strictest sense, I am actually with BT since they own PlusNet.

Used 110MB and counting with them this month and they've not batted an eyelid (though I still maintain my three-to-one peak/off peak ratio).

110Mb? Jeez, you must be really melting that line of yours!

Daz, have you looked into Be Broadband? BeThere.co.uk - one of my mates is with them and the service seems absolutely tip top - they sent him a text message saying they were working on his exchange and to expect disruption for a set period of time, and then another text to say there were finished and all should be back to normal!

He is one to complain bitterly about companies if they get stuff wrong and he has only ever had good words to say about them

I did of course mean 110GB.

About 50GB of that is NASA, another 20GB is uploading/downloading backup data from a server that had a disk failure, another 20GB is routine website updates (my systems download 500MB/day even if I'm not here), and the rest is work and play, with the odd Windows Server 2008 ISO thrown in for good measure.

I have yes, and I'm not sure really. Dont know much about them, all seems too good to be true when you look at the costs. On paper they're fantastic value, which makes me wonder if the network is reliable.

Not even sure if they're in my exchange yet anyway, and wont be able to find out for a week at least.

Deposit your nearest location thusly...

My guess would be 'no' though, unless your location is wrong since you moved.

One of the guys in my department is with Be and has no hassles at all.. I'm tempted given the hassles with Virgin Media but we'd have to get the phone line activated.

Why would you avoid BT, Feek?
