20Mbit broadband from Bulldog?

Somebody wanting to drop their Bulldog subscription was given some interesting news about their service plans:

The local loop unbundling (LLU) outfit is currently battling to restore its reputation after a torrent of complaints from customers. But it's also keen to extend its broadband offering, according to a reader who contacted the ISP to cancel his service.

He told us: "I called yesterday to cancel my nightmare subscription and they tried to convince me to stay by telling me they are about to announce a 20 meg connection in the next couple of weeks."

Asked to spill the beans on this speed upgrade a spokeswoman for Bulldog refused to comment.

Give me more speeeed hahaha.

hmmm am I gonna have to upgrade my router for this?

/trundles off to US Robotics site.

i thought f2s were doing 24mbit too. Not that great news when as the bargin bin shows u can get 24mbit for £20 a month.

Yeh 'Be' are rolling out a trial but it is for Londoners only to begin with.

I'd hazard a guess that ADSL2+ will be available from most LLU ISPs in time for Xmas.

I'd stick with blueyonder's 10Mbit cable connection guys. Much cheaper and far better service. What's the point of having a 20Mbit connection from a company that won't allow you to utilise it to its full potential without problems?

24mb FOCK¬! :shocked2:
