Be may offer a similar speed, but don't forget that they only offer it to people living 5Km from an unbundled exchange.

As a happy Be customer (as well as a VM customer, Bulldog/Pipex Customer, Demon Customer etc.) I can tell you that my Bebox syncs at.
1,217 / 6,684 (down/up).
It doesn't matter how many people tell you that you are guaranteed to get the full upstream rate (Be not being one of them, I never have, but still more than happy with 1,217, If I connect with my Dlink ADSL2+ modem I get just over 900)
At the site where I get the 6.5Mbit down and 1-and-a-bit up I have had other much less stable connections that have all been much slower.
Here, (on VM) even if I did have a BT landline, Be isn't available and I get full speed on the 20MBit service anyway.
