Bulldog used to be a very reliable company until C+W took them over, their support + maintenance is very poor.

Pipex seem much more reputable for an ADSL isp, but i'm only judging from my mates' experience and reviews on the net.

Re: It's really getting on my nerves now...
 

you don't get the speeds with pipex though. ;)

I'll only be with BD until "be unlimited" get their stuff sorted. I've been emailing them, and from what they tell me (and the head people's track records), it's going to be a cracking service.

I'm sure that BD are fine if it's working, like NTL, but terrible if it's not... Like NTL. Fair play to NTL, they've tried. Trying doesn't make it OK though, so i'd rather take my chances elsewhere. At worst, BD offer a one-month contract.

Perhaps, assuming i can actually sign up with them, i'll be one of the lucky ones...

Bulldog? Sounds more like Bullsh*t!!

I checked Be Unlimited too, but I can't see what some weird lifestyle magazine has to do with BB? :D

24mbit/1mbit with the option to trade download for more upload at a price, apparently.

so far they've been pretty quick at answering my silly questions about the service too, so they're one step ahead of most in regard to CS. Whether that'll continue once they have a customer base to cater for, i don't know, but i'll definitely be jumping onboard the band(width)wagon.

Re: It's really getting on my nerves now...
 

OMFG!! 24Mbit (sound of jaw hitting floor!!), that's nearly 3mb/s :O

So what's the catch? 1GB a month CAP? 24Mbit only available for 30mins at 03:00am? LOL!

Re: It's really getting on my nerves now...
 

nope, they've promised it'll be uncapped. Email them and ask any questions, they've been great at answering mine. One of the directors has personally answered several of my emails, and it's all sounding very promising.

No mention of prices yet, mind you. ;)

Speaking from experience Bulldog sucked before C+W bought them and suck afterwards, however C+W have invested in them and given them cash for much needed network upgrades (Bulldog either had issues with local bandwidth, core bandwidth or transit bandwidth, and their entire service ran off of a single Redback SMS 10k).

Be haven't built out any network yet and said their initial rollout would be in London only. Minor issue also that the 24Mbit service they advertise uses a technology that hasn't been approved for use in the UK yet, so they'll have to wait for that before they switch anything on.

They certainly seem to have a good pedigree though, however be a long time before they leave London due to lack of a national network to carry their service on.
