Bethere Broadband New Contracts
UncleUB:
I see Bethere have just introduced new 12 months contracts,and making it more expensive if you chose not go on one.

And this is the speed they estimate I can get with my line attenuation of 63.5 :o :no:

We've estimated that your maximum download speed is 6 meg.This is based on information BT gave us about your BT line. Actual download speeds depend on different things, like the distance between your telephone exchange and your home, or the quality of your BT line. We'll work with what's there and always give you the fastest speed we can, depending on your chosen package. Even then, your broadband speed might vary from time to time.

No wonder they want you tied in for 12 months. :no:

I think you can take it that the estimate is wrong, unfortunately. :(

It's interesting that they provided one at all. Their policy for some time has been to not take orders on lines that are too long to use ADSL2+ sensibly.
Maybe they know something your current ISP doesn't and you have a problem with your current ISP that can be overcome? It might be worth trying if you check out the short-term cancellation terms. 8)

Tbh HP,
I haven't considered going with Be,its just while I was looking on their site I thought I would just put my number in and see what came up.Only the other day UKOnline estimated I could get 5.1mb.
At present I am getting 1.5mb with BT,which imo is quite good for my line length.
