ANYONE USE Be INTERNET 24meg ADSL2+?
 

Be internet advertise the fastest Broadband ADSL2+ speeds in the UK of up to 24meg. Has anyone here connected or is using this service?... I would appreciate anyone who is/has to give an indication of Be Internets service and whether the speeds add up in your experiences.....?

Appreciate the replies on this topic!

We've got Be at work - it was really fast when we got it, but there was nothing to really compare to, now, it feels to me as if its slowing a bit as more and more users move over to it :)

O2 have just started a large advertising push too (they own Be, and are using Be's network for the O2 broadband) so i'd expect it to slow more.

Re: ANYONE USE Be INTERNET 24meg ADSL2+?
 

Be/O2 never overload their network, if it needs more capacity, it will be added.

If it's slowing too much something is wrong your end :p:

As for when i had Be, always 22mbit, always 2.5mbit up, i miss it, soo much, now im stuck with VM :(

Re: ANYONE USE Be INTERNET 24meg ADSL2+?
 

It's excellent. 1.4 km from exchange, (879 straight line) and I get solid and stable 18 down and 1.3 up.
Mind you, after VM nightmare, anything would be good.

BePro, 900m from the exchange.

Thought it might be better. :(
It is better and cheaper than VM though.

Re: ANYONE USE Be INTERNET 24meg ADSL2+?
 

i was goin to go on Be*, i might go on o2. i really cant make my mind up!

no matter what, im movin from VM

Re: ANYONE USE Be INTERNET 24meg ADSL2+?
 

they are one and the same (network)

Re: ANYONE USE Be INTERNET 24meg ADSL2+?
 

Err sounds like your phone lines pretty bad if your getting 30DB attenuation at 900m distance..

Are you running through an extention or master socket?

Re: ANYONE USE Be INTERNET 24meg ADSL2+?
 

Yep thats my take on it.
Running from the master socket and done the bell wire mod.
900m is as the crow flies, I have no idea of the real distance.

Re: ANYONE USE Be INTERNET 24meg ADSL2+?
 

Ahh maybe thats why then... Real distance is the factor..

Try running DMT it can give you an estimate

Re: ANYONE USE Be INTERNET 24meg ADSL2+?
 

Do you mean an estimate of the distance? I've looked at DMT till my eyes bled but could not see anything? :(

Re: ANYONE USE Be INTERNET 24meg ADSL2+?
 

Yeah it usually gives you an estimate of the distance...

It also gives you RCO readings on what the theoretical max your line can handle at the current performance.
