Just to rain on the parade a bit, I wouldn't trust Bulldog to run my going to the bathroom, let alone trust them with my 999 calls.

Incidentally Bulldog no longer offer the 4Mbit product as a standalone. You must take a telephony product from Cable and Wireless as well as the DSL.

Hopefully Bulldog will get their act together, however considering how badly their tech team are struggling with just the 35 exchanges that have been running for the past year or more the idea of them managing a load more is scary.

Still if you don't mind sub-512k speeds from a 4Mbit line: http://bbs.adslguide.org.uk/showthre...b=5&o=0&fpart=
and a phat 8.5kBytes/s from an Office class 2Mbit line:

This is if they manage to connect you at all:

Gaming? Great service:

Loads more horror stories knocking about, The Register has a few stories about them as well and their mythical network upgrades, while they continue to advertise and gain new customers.

Ah sorry did I forget? My 20:1 office class service is provided by a wholesale partner of Bulldog, who use some of the Bulldog network to provide me my service. Bear in mind again that my service is supposed to be 2Mbit Office class, these are the results I've been getting for a month or more thanks to this shower:

Downstream 134 Kbps (16.8 KB/sec) 144 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 230 Kbps (28.8 KB/sec) 248 Kbps (inc. overheads)

Class act this company, I wouldn't touch them with someone elses bargepole.
