128K-256K-512K-1MB-2MB-3MB-4MB! 8MB-24MB ???

I think broadband is on the brink of getting faster and cheaper!
This Year Blueyonder are rolling out speeds of 10MB For only £35.00
And i have also heard that Wanadoo Are running trials of a 8MPBS Service
for only 14.99 for the
first 3 months then 17.99 after but only in a small area
Bulldog broadband are soon gonna Offer a 24 MBPS Service
You gotta admit these Speeds Are Wacky And the prices are Amazing!
Does Anyone know a faster ISP In the uk?

On a
Blueyonder 512Kbps Connection
Waiting For 2mbps Upgrade

my guess would be BE since they seem to be doing 24meg at the moment.

i dont know how impressive these speeds are to be honest, the upload rates
are tiny and places like sweden and japan have had 100meg symetric lines
for years.

as soon as the bbc etc start releasing tv progs on the net and joe pubic
work out how to use the TVout line or just buy plasma/lcd tvs the demand
on bandwidth is going to go ballistic.

24 megs is probably enough to cope with streaming tv but the faster the
lines get the more applications will get developed.

joe who ??? Not Brazilian is he ?

It seems to me that the speed of the connection is increasing, while the amount of data you are
allowed to download without paying £££ is decreasing. All a bit pointless really.

155 Mbps has been available in most of the UK for over 5 years, 1 Gbps is
nationally available now (e.g. BT's GigeStream) - symmetric of course. It's the
price which put its use beyond the domestic user. The reason is that it
typically requires the installation of a fibre to the customer specifically
for the service.

That's the way it will remain until BT can move fibre out closer to the
customer, or the cable companies redesign their distribution networks. Those
who have to rely on 5km of twisted pair telephone cabling for their broadband
are not likely to see significant increases in speed over what they already
have.

Check reviews before using Bulldog, they are a terrible ISP.

It took 3 weeks to connect, worked for 2 weeks, then broke, I've now
been without a phone for 3 weeks Bulldog have done nothing about this,
they have failed to call me back every time they have said they would
(7 times). They have given 3 dates that it would be fixed (which it
never was). Im even having trouble cancelling....

In short NON-EXISTENT CUSTOMER SUPPORT - AND A POOR PRODUCT - I WILL
NEVER USE THEM AGAIN
