The problem with Bulldog is that if you cannot have 1mb ADSL installed on your BT line even though the post code checker says that you can have it Bulldog charge you £30
2.5 If Bulldog is unable to activate the Service due to your act or omission or due to incorrect information being provided by you, Bulldog reserves the right to charge you a failed connection fee of £30.
If you had a BT line & you used the phone number tracker it is more accurate than using the post code checker.
What can go wrong if the post code checker or the
BT telephone number checker says yes your local BT exchange supports the speed you want, i have known of a NTHw forum member finding out his BT line was okay for 1meg/2mb (results of the BT phone checker) but BT said that he couldnt have the service because the ADSL line check results said that there was too much line noise on the line, so that was ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£ÃƒÆ ’‚£ down the drain plus time waiting/wondering if the BT line check would be okay.
(sometimes things are not rosey when signing upto ADSL)
If you read the rest of the ADSL threads
in this forum you will see that people have moved to ADSL from NTL BB for various reasons, some have posted their experiances (which unfortunatly doesnt include speed
* tests after they have signed up to ADSL).
*You might find that after you have moved from NTL BB to ADSL the speed is different (
it can swing either way)
The majority of the forum members that have made the switch from NTL BB to ADSL (that have posted in this forum) have gone to Pipex as far as im aware no one that has signed up to Bulldog has posted what their service is like.
