Be There 24 Unlimited

[alexkoon]

Anyone here on Be There Unlimited. They say unlimited but have a FUP. Reading around though - there are people using 200 - 400 Gb a month with no probs. I probably use about 100 GB but before I even realised how much I was using I moved to Zens 8000 Pro account from my old properly unlimited home 1000 account.

Anyway - as I am stuck with 50Gb limit per month, I was thinking about moving to Be as there have upto 24Mbps - I should get close as I sync on the max at over 7000+.

So any good or bad comments about Be?

i have heard of people d/l and u/l 50 gigs a day no probs!
they have introduced a load of new t and c's recently....

Unfortunately ADSL2+ doesnt work like that. Getting near the max on ADSL1 does not mean you will get near the max on ADSL2+. It is more a case of, if you dont get max speed on ADSL1 then ADSL2+ will not give you a significant increase. Often somebody will get 6mbps on ADSL1 but only 7mbps on ADSL2+.

I am very happy with Be* myself, though I am going to wait to see what happens when o2 start to take increasing control over the company.

They've also removed the refer a friend programme just as I was about to switch over and get a cousin to do so too....

Taken the plunge as its a pain to keep an eye on the 50 Gb limit etc, also when using stuff like Skype, messenging apps, online gaming you are not sure how much of the 50Gb you are using.

Anyway - Be transfer scheduled for the 27 Sept. Have to wait and see and hope its a problem free connection.

Skype uses about 5 kb/s bandwidth in each direction for me..... thats nothing.

Not the bandwidth used but the total bytes transferred cause of the caps....
