Hi,
So I'll start with the question about Be Unlimited. We have be unlimited (obviously a 24mb connection) for £17.50 a month, however I've just done a speed test, which I have just read aren't that reliable, and got a speed of around 9mb. Even if the speed tests aren't too reliable, I doubt it's that far out, right? Back when we moved here in June I did a test (in the evening) and got 19mb so it's apparently gone down a lot, however I'll do another few tests at different times over the next few days to see what comes up. If it does turn out that we aren't getting more than 9mb (when we were told we could theoretically get up to 22mb), does anyone know if they'll lower the price for you? I just seem to remember reading a thread on here probably about 8 months ago now, where somebody had complained to Be and threatened to move isps and they dropped the price. Has anyone done this recently?
Secondly, how are BT? I'm assuming not as good as Be by a long stretch, but I did get a call from BT yesterday offering me an 8mb connection for £7.69/month which is a tenner cheaper than we pay now, with 20mb coming soon and no slowing down of the line during peek times. Is there any truth to what he was saying or is it all just marketing? We currently get no connection drops and enjoy a nice stable line, so are willing to pay the extra if BT throttle you. £10/month saving just sounds quite nice, especially since he said they include 250 mins of mobile broadband per month...
Cheers for any advice.

Would that tell me what speed I've been getting since the router was first used or what, because as I said at first I think it said 19mb at first, but I can't be 100% sure so it would be good to check.
I have no idea, how can I check?
