Ukonline 22mbit!

zitianaki · 10-11-2005, 00:16

looks like ukonline is catching up with a new 22MBit

http://www.ukonline.net/broadband/bb22_opt2.php

note they say the actual speed is about 13Mbits still fine with me 29.99 no limit upload same as 8Mbit 768kbit ....

any of you ukonliners out there upgraded to it?

8Mbit is been put down to 24.99 to.... definatly worth upgrading to the adsl2+ though way to go ukonline....

just been reading this, its 'up to' 22mbits but you may recieve less but they will estimate depending on the distance from the exchange to you, not bad though and no cap either!

http://www.ukonline.net/broadband/exchangelist.php

right hand side at the top it says unlimited!

i already have ukonline 8Mbit doesent seem to be an option to upgrade like there was with the 2 to the 8 wonder if you have to ring... they do say wireless router you have for the 8mbit is ok for adsl2+ to...
if the service is like the 8Mbit well be very well... 2.2km away from exchange so hoping for at least 14MBits when i get to upgrade

anyone else with ukonline going to upgrade? dont want to upgrade and have bad services read to many bad bethere reveiws everyone getting less then 1Mbit for a 24Mbit service :/

On our 22Mb service, we require that you buy our ADSL2+ Wireless Router, as many ADSL routers are not compatible for use on ADSL2+ broadband (the new technology that makes it possible for you to go faster than 8Mb.) We have tried and tested the ADSL2+ Wireless Router with our customers, so you can be sure that it is the best option to use on UK Online 22Mb Broadband.

Ive called them and they say I need a new modem.The actiontec website say the modem they already sold me in may is fine.Ukonline say I have to have a new one bye bye ukonline. Tech support says the actiontec cant do it,Actiontec says they can.I hope Ukonline go bust and the fleas of a 1000 camels infest there pubic region for all eternity

zitianaki · 10-11-2005, 19:52

of course ukonline will say that.. more money for them right? why not try the actiontech one and see if its ok and if its not then order the new modem? i remember when we orderd the modem i read a bit that said it was ready for the new adsl2+ so when it was out u wouldent have to change modems or anything so i wonder... im not gonna change it and see how i get on.

probably wont get as good with this modem rather then the other im guessing but from the start ukonline said the actiontech modem was ready for the adsl2+ move...

Not surprised in the slightest - if you look at the blurb it says

Which is why above i advised of the price above as well.

This is effectively an 80 quid connection fee by another - more marketable - name.

Good luck!

zitianaki · 11-11-2005, 17:19

you could use the argument they said the actiontech was ready for the adsl2+ so they lied...

Also if you log in to your ukonline through the web site there is a bit saying what service you have and if you klick it lets you upgrade through the web site.... or it should do acording to the ukonline guy i spoke to heh will check it out later..
hope it works.

Hello People

I too have ordered uko 22mb ADSL2+ connection

I am a previos cutomer of UKO currently subscribed to there 8mb. I have a had a few hiccups since may but once its UP its UP no fart arsing around like ntl & by etc. Once your live and activated and sync is set its an excellant service speeds are good too.

I also had to change my BT number because of them STUPID annoying Sales calls from india telling me I have won a free phone!!. It's all a con no free phone but getting back to the UKO I had to close old account and reprovision my line from scratch pointless I know as all BT have done is simply just created a new calling card and not actually physically modified the line or service so the adsl trigger is still set on my old home number @ the exchange and all they have to do is just patch in the new number at the exchange end, Its a doddle.

What wound me up a bit was the LAME MONEY SCAMMING CHEATING KNIVING requirements !!

I allready have my LinkSys ADSL 2+ router its not wireless but why do I need wireless if its connected to my hub for my other box's. I was freindly advised by uko to purchase an ADSL2+ compatible router as I would not have the need to go out and buy another router so I did just that and ordered a Linksys ADSL2+ Router model: AG241 It dont work well on standard adsl something to do with modulation modes g.lite, g.dmt, ansi. t1413 etc. so basicly looks like I wasted another 60 odd quid back in may 05.

In the end the LinkSys would not work well on the 8mb ADSL provided by uko and same as bulldog too would not work correctly, But works fine on normal adsl under 2mb ie: aol, wanado, bt, etc..

Why should we sit back and be mugged off by uko ?

I heard the common saying "The customer is always right" I do hope these cowboy ISP take note of the real input, Its Customers!!

Well lets hope all go's well and I dont have any hiccups and lets see if they can do it under the 14 days. Should be fun

Best Regards

Adam
