Best Ever value? Urm I don't think so, many other reputable companies are
offering a fully featured 512K ADSL package for less than BT's No Frills
package.

It looks like BT are trying to confuse the public into thinking they can get
something on the cheap when infact, they're paying way over the odds. Looks
like they're trying to confuse Newbies.

Typical BT.

Oh well.

BT are just behaving like most vendors when they claim their product
is the best, cheapest or both.

Customers will behave like most customers and believe what they are
told. If the service works, those customers are happy and none the
wiser. Perhaps that is how it should be?

They've effectively reduced what can be downloaded by half (from ~30gig pm
to 15) and are only £2 cheaper. But it seems this won't be enforced until
next year when they announce plans to sell heavy users 'additional
bandwidth'. (ZDNet)

Soon might be time to look elsewhere.

The 1mb option is hellova lot more competitive than there 512kbps service.
Pipex charge me £34 a month! Should I migrate???

Massive or more realistic. No domain name forwarding no fixed ip.

Oversubscribed perhaps with alleged contention ratio of 76
that is a true speed of 6.7Kbps. Better of with isdn and a true speed of
128Kbps, oops forgot don't mention ISDN we do not want anyone to find out
all the rest of Europe has it and we charge our lovely jubbly prices and no
handsets, no local or network powering. Let them eat homehighway don't tell
Oftel/Ofcom we fixed the service.

What about 1Mbps from Bulldog for £19.99 doesn't that seem a better price
and £1 to change over ip's.

Not to mention that other ISP have dropped their prices also. For
many the 'auxilary' services that other ISPs provide is a more
important consideration than headline [basic] service prices.

AFAIK Primetime 1000 is 22.99 and the alltime is 29.99 so like for
like bulldog cost the same. and the £1 fee is only for like to like
transfers not upgrades.
