I have to say I now use Bulldog Primetime 2000 and for less than £30 its very good value - even during the day when its supposed to be capped at 512K - I can get 600/650K
Also, if you do have problems that Bulldog can't resolve they appear to offer to release you from the contract.
If anyone does want to join Bulldog - would they mind contacting me privately so that I can refer them
Appartantly over 50% of Bulldog's new business currently comes from such referrals!

Thanks for the correction
Before i switched to the other side i could only check that the local BT exchange was adsl compatable by typing in my postcode
This method is only 80-90% accurate (typing a phone number is more accurate) the reply i saw said :
"
Good news! The checker indicates that ADSL Broadband is available in your area and that the preliminary check on your postcode suggests that you should be able to receive ADSL Broadband services at speeds from 512kilobits per second to 2Megabits per second downstream and 256kilobits per second upstream"
i guess when typing in a phone number will bring up something different?
I guess Bulldog must have a special arrangement with BT as no other adsl isp offer the same service packages.
There are some
pitbull falls with bulldog that could be highlighted a deciding factor if
Dr. Plummer decides to create a new forum catagory.
