Bulldog have 3 special offers on atm:
http://www.bulldogdsl.com/special_offers.asp

Two of them are 1MB offers:

Alltime 1000 - 1MB all the time - £24.99 + VAT = £29.36
and
Primetime 1000 - 1MB evening and weekends (512K otherwise) - £19.99 + VAT =
£23.49

If you go for the Alltime 1000 offer you also qualify for a free USB modem
or half price connection - your choice.

I currently have their Primetime 2000 package and have found that during the
day I can get 80/85k (i.e. more than 512K) and in the evenings I can
normally get about 150k

The only time I get 220k+ (2MB) seems to be when downloading from somewhere
like Microsoft or mirror.ac.uk - thought that seems to be as the servers at
the other end can't keep up with my connection!

I will be honest and say I didn't think much of their customer service while
signing up- though "older" customers say its good (tbh I did join at a time
when they were very busy).

However, I have found their tech support to be very good at chasing things
up with BT if you have a line problem - though they seem run off their
feet/very busy.

The service seems fine, though some people do report problems and slow
speeds and sometimes there is a bit of packetloss etc.

Also Bulldog had a nasty habit of doing "scheduled" maintenance work and not
telling anyone or updating their status page until after its done - but they
are good at responding to customers.. i.e. someone rang up and complained
about it - and so they rang/emailed all their customers the same day,
apologised and said we will be creating a opt in list for you to be notified
in advance of any planned outages etc. They have demonstrated their
flexability like this a few times on different issues.

You may want to read the ADSLGuide board at
http://bbs.adslguide.org.uk/postlist...&Board=bulldog

I am not an LLU customer of theirs... but if you would be, you can't get a
better deal and those customers seem to have less problems than their
IPStream/DataStream ones.

If you do sign up would you mind quoting my referral code: bdol 87431 - I am
afraif you won't get anything but with luck I might

Any questions, ask away.

Regards
Sunil

As I understand it, anything over 512k is only available on a very small
subset of enabled exchanges, mainly in the London/SE areas.

Is this true?

Its now available at around 450 exchanges - but as the other poster said
read the Bulldog forum on ADSLGuide (link in my previous post) as some users
are having problems...
