O2 Price rise

[OilSheikh]

Can confirm that my landline+BB has gone up by £4per month.

So, we are all going to Sky then ??

Not in a million years.
O2 are stiffing people over, but SKY are just plain poor.

Cost is important to me as well

Have you looked at Xilo?

Anyone know if Xilo are any good? The price for their 16MB unlimited seems quite good

I just talked to O2. People who were existing customers will continue to be on the same package after their contract ends and be on a rolling contract. If you don't like O2 and want to leave, just give 9 days notice and you are free to go.

If they go for a new 12 months contract , then only their package will be changed to the new ones and speed throttling will apply. They will also get a £2.50pm discount. The speed throttling justification was that to have everyone to be able to use the internet without getting slowed down by heavy downloaders.

Or a better justification would be that they don't want to spend the money to install enough capacity for the number of customers they've taken on

Weasel words..

BE FTW.

been using them ever since they launched

[MadduckUK]

would neeeever put price over service, and i remember when BB used to be far more expensive thanit is nowadays. BE

The max I can get is 8 on the bt exchange I'm with so paying more for the same somewhere else is pointless. I know Virgin are horrendous for shaping and random resectoring. I was looking at be as they would provide the same connection as o2 with a better package, O2 use be's infrastructure anyway.

I wanted to move to their Pro service but I can't now becuase I don't want to be hit with caps. I won't hit 250GB a month (this month I did 31.2GB) but I am never really convinced the systems ISP put in place actually work as expected (Look at VMs system)

[maxsteel]

"Broadband" is becoming increasingly embarrassing when compared to the rest of the world, *sigh. Soon we'll be slower than many third world countries.

[TooNice]

Here's a question: does it annoy ISP's when someone decides to upload all day? I've finally decided to get on with online backup, and it's going to take a few weeks, if not months of continuous upload to get everything I want backed-up.. backed-up.

hi
my o2 has been d/ling at 400k for the last month. it never was but i'm getting concerned that i'm getting shapped. i did call them 2 mths ago with router issues another was sent and me rolling contract will be the old unlimited acct but now at 9 a month. will call them today. thats d/l from any source.

also, i want a better wirless signal than i am getting and would appreciate any thoughts on a better router than the thomson i have got free from o2. i have the wireless box 2.

[OilSheikh]

I use Belkin Wireless N.

I would advise getting a .... Linksys N / Netgear N router
