Help what do I do

Currently im on ntl for my calls(24/7 unlimited) and 3 meg BB
LLU has happened on my exchange
I was dead set on trying for the 8 meg off ukonline until i got a flier off Bulldog this morning
My bt line is due to be switched on tomorrow (26/4/05)
This is where I need help,Bulldog offers full telecommunications packages but only offers 4 meg internet,I have been assured by them i will get the full 4 meg which means I would also get over that with ukonline
Now here is the intersting part Bulldog offers Unlimited calls and unlimited BB at 4 meg for £39.99 inclusive of line rental etc
Ukonline offers 8 meg for £29.99 But I will still have to pay BT line rental and look for a call package

What do I do ,need advice today as I will have to cancel BT switch on before Tomorrow

Do you really need the extra 4MB?

If not I'd go for the Bulldog one.

logic says your right but my greedy side wants

I agree with Dezzo.

You're unlikely to get an unlimited BT call / rental package for £10/m.

However, I'm more than happy with an NTL 2Mb connection

I have just been back onto Bulldog they only commit you to a 1 month contract but you have to supply your own modem(not a problem).This guy tells me I should let Bt switch me back on tomorrow so they generate me a number if I have bulldog do it ,it would cost £59 ,then of course im tied to a 3 month contract with Bt which the guy from bulldog says they can get me out of.
It certainly does look like a very good offer indeed for the money

I suspect Bulldog are using LLU on the exchange you are connecting to, whereas UK online don't have that option yet, hence the pricing.

There have been a few horror stories with Bulldog in the past, their customer service was worse than ntl :disturbed: I don't know how much they have improved, but it's worth checking reviews.

Ukonline are on LLU too,went online in my town 2 weeks ago ive had to wait this time for bt to send a engineer out to test my line as its not been bt for years

Ukonline are not a telecommunications company they don't offer a phone line just internet £29.99 for 8 meg is still cheap lets face it

Bulldog every time.

Bulldog use their own kit in the BT exchanges.

The internet is both provided through access to LLU the differences between the 2 are that bulldog take over as carrier where as ukonline do not,the points in my figuring are really down to total costs,
ie :
bulldog 4 meg 24/7 call package and line rental £39
ntl 3 meg £37.99 plus 24/7 calls £25 total £62.99
ukonline 8 meg £29.99 bt line rental £10/50 or 24/7 £25.50

I am edging towards bulldog but I may just think wth and just overspend

Ive gone against the best advice and my better instincts and ordered UKonline 8 meg,They say ill get the full 8 meg I will post speed test in 7 - 10 days when modem arrives

/me is jealous. I wish my exchange got unbundled, but realistically it ain't gonna happen for a very very long time

Maybe I should consider moving... Swindon ain't that great a place anyway

neither is Nuneaton I am surprised my exchange is set already date for switch on is 5th modem is being sent on the 3rd so by next w/e

this may not be what you want to hear...but i was on a 10 mbit symmetric connection for a while, and the times it was maxxed out were few and far between! most servers seemed not to supply abouve 250KB/s, some even less than that.

it's great for p2p though

Oh I have a service that will max it To be honest I am just being greedy going for the 8meg over bulldogs 4 ,Its really the cap issue im bothered about
