About Be
In its relatively short lifetime BE broadband has situated itself as a favourite among gamers and Internet enthusiasts alike. It’s easy to see why, offering as it does some of the highest ADSL broadband speeds going (up to 24mb). And with plans to soon implement superfast fibre-optic cable broadband their appeal to the serious Internet crowd seems unlikely to change.
If speed and quality are important at BE, then so is freedom of choice. BE broadband is unique in offering customers the option to customise their own broadband packages. You can customise the length of your plan (3/12month) the speed of your connection, whether it includes any landline add-ons or a landline service at all!
Best Bits
If you’re looking for a gaming connection then BE Pro might be just what you need. With a 24mb upload speed and a monster 2.5mb download speed it’s a snip at £27.00/month
Overseas support, disconnections, regular faults with connection, phone support which cuts you off as its overseas and VOIP based, a web support ticket system that thinks your message is Java code, Live chat system that cuts off midway, Proxy system in place that regular blocks entire sites. DNS servers that are slow and known to have outages. Yes there is no capping, or throttles, though with all the issues they have it would be preferable. Ring 0808 101 34 30 and choose option 6 before you join ask a few questions just to get a rough idea how the rest of the product is. A monkey and a bit of string would give you better broadband service and support.

A bit more about Be
BE began as an independent ISP in 2005 but was swiftly bought by O2 in 2006 and subsumed into the Spanish telecommunications group Telefónica. O2 and BE are not just separate brands but separate entities, although they do share much of the same telecommunications infrastructure.
