Re: Bulldog 8Mb

BT said no previous line in my flat but said there are lines fitted in other flats at the same propertly so the landlord may have approved it for one of my neighbour's unless they got it done anyway. Looking at things tho, It is mainly the TV service I have problems with as its digital tv I want, the bulldog savings for broadband are nice but I probably dont want the hassle of changing to them just to save a small amount of money. I will have a long think about it and see if I want a complete move.

Re: Bulldog 8Mb

Been on bulldog at the shop for 5 days now. on the pro-active business connection....

When it wants to go its fantastic 850k+ a sec... Sometimes though it slows down a bit 300k+ but thats the lowest its got. Uploading at 512k atm

+ all call free - Its not bad at all..... Shame it does not offer a reverse dns entry though

To early to say if I would personaly recomend it or not... Will keep you posted but looks good so far

Hi Stuart, mines being installed next week looks like you've got some good speeds going there.

Heh, must've been the same engineers that 'installed' mine. BT were none-too-impressed when I switched back to them and explained that NTL had fiddled with the BT junction box to install NTL's phone line. Had to get BT engineer round to fix it, and he didn't appreciate it much either.

Re: Bulldog 8Mb

So far got to say :

BENEFITS
8mb really works fine. No issues in this area(bristol). What can i not see as a benefit when you get the wireless router for free - new BT line for £1, first month free, free local and national calls? all for £29.99? ? and a contract you can cancel month by month.

DOWNSIDE
Tech support is crap - Waiting in queues for 15/20mins aint fun(Telewest at least answer when you call them).

Funny thing is Telewest were trying to keep me by selling me their 10mb service which the existing 2mb/4mb customers will get at the same £35. Is not even available yet...so might be tempted to go back if they sort their crap out.

Noticed "Be" ISP is offering 24mb BB - Search....its true....
