Be - 24 Mbps broadband in London

Comments (0)

Be have opened up their 24Mbps/1Mbps ADSL service for pilot users. I've just signed up, and requested my MAC code from my existing provider, Nildram. Nildram have done nothing wrong, the service quality has been consistent, but they've capped downloads recently, and show no signs of progressing above 2Mbps any time soon, whereas Be are actually delivering this service now. 24Mbps…yum.

More details at the Be web site.

[Update 20th Sept. Hmm. Hadn't heard anything so I emailed Be to get an update on my order. Nothing back. Phoned them, and was told that my exchange was going to be enabled in January !! Bit aggravated that was the case after initially being told a few days on the website. Also, I've given 30 days notice to my existing ISP. So I've cancelled the order with Be and would now advise other people not to order until there is some proof of Be delivering a service - especially if you need to transfer from another ISP]
