if choosing between be and bulldog I would pick be given that bulldog appear to be winding down their residental business whilst be are just starting out. be are also been much more leniant installing adsl2+ whilst bulldog are refusing to install on longer lines.
There is an interesting article posted at adslguide this morning, so I thought I would post a link to it here, which will be a help to people considering a MAX product. The article also gives links, to information about MAX and includes a nice glossary.
All LLU operators will prioritise business traffic above residential. Businesses pay a lot more.
That withstanding this traffic 'combing' isn't really anywhere near as obtrusive or aggressive as application layer inspection and throttling.
Our 20:1 8mb down / 800k up bt business broadband that we pay £65 a month for is no better than my 1mb ntl residential cable connection. In fact its worse because they supply a crap wireless router that locks up all the time. Can't wait till we got a bit more cash and I can throw it in the bin.
well no surprise since if they advertising it at 20:1 thats no longer accurate.
the bt office adsl max products are no longer stated as 20:1 but share the same VP as consumer connections and just have traffic prioritisation put on them to speed them up during office hours. I think in most cases they wont perform as good as the old 20:1.
