Re: Bulldog 8Mb

Man i was looking at this yesterday as i have BT and Zen 2mb AND this is available in my area - BUT - is it worth it.

Zen's support has been brilliant whereas i have heard (some) bad things about Bulldog.

Given that my BT bill is around 15 quid a month and my broadband is 34.99 a month for Zen, this looks like a tasty deal (8 meg Super@ctive @ £52 (after 3 months)) but its still more expensive. (see http://www.bulldogbroadband.com/resi...comparison.asp)

However - has anybody here actually used Bulldog and would you recommend it?

With the exception of basic 512k ADSL all UK broadband connections are limited to where it's available.

Re: Bulldog 8Mb

Actually, although I have heard mixed views of Bulldog on this forum (basically, it seeems if you are on one of their unbundled exchanges and don't have to deal with their after sales service then they are good), generally they seem to be good.

Re: Bulldog 8Mb

Its all the same its LLU bt lines offering the 8 meg bulldog uses its own equipment ukonline resells for easynet,I have had a total mare cuz of the quality of my line,They dropped my speed to 4 meg and this was still totally unstable at night,I download off ukonline in the day at 6.5 meg and use ntl for my gaming at night

Im sure theres the other side to this and If your close enough to the exchange and have a better line than me and get a good connection

One other thing bulldog do not give you a modem as they do not tie you to a contract ,So you could try it out.I have no idea how easy there are to get mac numbers off to change isp but your only tied to a month


Edit: I am only 2.8 k from the exchange
