Be Broadband Fair Usage

Hi,

Im looking for a new broadband supplier....

Ive been drawn to sky due to thier 'unlimited' stuff....
However I've heard BE are good and their shorter contracts sound better to me......

I was wondering if anyone had any experience of their fair usage.....

how much is the download limit, whats the service like etc...

THanks

Re: Be Broadband Fair Usage

I've been with BE* for the last 18 months or so and I've found them good so far - had a few initial problems with the supplied BeBox (which I've put back in its box and I'm now using a proper router ) and my internal cabling, which in the end I totally relaid and things are fine.

Fair Usage - I don't do P2P but I've never had a problem with BE* despite downloading large service packs and disk images from legitimate sources.

If you're in reasonable distance from your exchange and have tidy wiring go for it.

Re: Be Broadband Fair Usage

well my download usage is quite large....
I download alot of massive files for work etc and I can easily get to 200+gb in a month.....

I used to have sky in my old house so their unlimited stuff worked a treat......

Do Be put a figure on their fair usage?

but the main thing that draws me to BE is their short 3 month contracts (i may be moving house in 6 months)
also their online speeder checker thing says they'll give me about 16meg a second, where as skys online checker only say 6.5 meg a second.............
