OT : ADSL supplier

I've heard one or two good things about them ;)

Yeah 2 working days to get my connection live is outstanding, and they always answer the phone when you call them, and they dont take no money till after you are connected.

Any download limits?

It's BT who activate your line not the ISP. you where just lucky mate ;o)

Yeah BT activate the line, but the order still has to be submitted, and that is where most s**te companies hold you up.

No download limits

hahahahha £19.99 with no d/l limits...check your T&C's mate ;o) bet theres the old "acceptable usage" clause.

Basically if you use more thasn 35 GB per month then you'll end up costing them money.....it wont stay uncapped for long, no ones will.

Maybe "s**te" companies that dont send your order strait away are quite the opposite. "busy" would be a better word.

In 99% of cases line will not go active until 5-7 days after the order has been sent.

He was lucky.

The ADSL bit is supplied by BT and the timings of making this active outside the control of the ISP. However, if you're having a new line at the same time as ordering ADSL, hopefully they'd come together.

Ive checked the T&C and there are no limits, I was with BY before and downloaded over 35 gig a month regular, I didnt get a 512k connection to download tons anyway, but the company are very good, and no limits mean no limits, I wouldnt recommend them otherwise.

noy for long i'd expect.mate. No ISP will be keeping a product that cheap unlimited. they will go out of business.

i'm not saying there is an actual number in the T's and C's just an "acceptabel usage"

as in if they deem your usage to be unaccaptable at a time when they are loosing money left right and centre (in about 6-12 months i'd expect) they will start kicking people off....

it WILL happen. no two ways about it.

What he meant Ron was clearly -

"No, thats not fair, i'm paying more than that for a worse deal, and i'm pissed off about it, so i'm gonna mock yours to make myself feel better" :)

what he actually meant was "i work for a broadband ISP and have a pretty good idea what i'm talking about.."

I pay COST for a 1Mb connection with no cap ;o)

Depends fella. Some companies due to the weird ways things work, supply ADSL to BT Wholesale, who sell it to other ISPs including BT Retail and companies that they manage (to get round monopoly stuff, it's all done by BT really).

If your ISP is a client of a Company that also supplies BT, rather than just buying off BT, things can go a little more smoothly.

Funnily enough, I work for a Broadband ISP too, and as they can get it=20 for about =A316.99 a month, charging =A319.99 a month is =A33 a month, per= =20 customer, for what is essentially an automated system. With your support=20 services farmed out at a fixed contract (as everyone does) and your=20 connections handled by either you provider, or BT Wholesale directly,=20 you only need admin staff, and insome cases you can run a succesful=20 broadband business as a 1 man band, with all you backroom stuff=20 (billing, CPE and line provisioning etc) all handled for a set fee each=20 month.

The line billing is taken care of before you get to see any money.

Who says my ISP resell BT products, it could be datastream via telefonica, it could be LLU via bulldog

could well be....except you called it ADSL ;o)

Mason

ADSL is supplied by bulldog and Telefonica, what do you mean?

well unless you mean *another* hi-velocity then we both know it's through BT.

Why try to argue for arguments sake?

? do we, Hi velocity used to sell bulldogs adsl, and now they resell another companys adsl, I dont know who it is but it isnt BT's, it used to be telefonica's which is Spanish based. They sell Datastream and IP stream so I dont know who's it is.

Your the one arguing
