I am looking to change my ISP as being an O2 customer I can get their premium package for £10 a month. Up to 20Mb

Couple of questions for anyone here using them? How good is the connection/service? Is it always fast or are there slowdowns?
Also I have my own domain for email which I want to transfer. Do O2 host domains or can anyone recommend a free/cheap hosting company?

Many thanks

It depends, is your line LLU or BT Wholesale material?

I don't know if my line or not but the Exchange is.

How can I tell if my line is or not?

Thanks

Check whether your exchange has 02 LLU stuff here: http://www.samknows.com/broadband/llu-operator/be

If it does I expect you will get a good service.

Looks like it does.

Go through Quidco if you don't have an O2 phone contract, you will save yourself a lot of money (I think it works out less than £5 a month after cashback for a year)

I am an o2 customer so I can get their premium package for £10 p/m

We're on the £7.50 package for upto 8Mbps (nothing higher available in this area anyways)





Unlimited, cheap, I haven't noticed any throttling at peak times, speed pretty constant, bargain.... What else?... Oh I think in a couple of years it's only ever been down for a few hours when some work was being done on some lines.

That's it, I'm certainly not thinking of changing.

I spoke to O2 and they said there is no limits on their service as they are LLU, no caps or throttleing.

They don't do domain hosting so I am moving to fasthosts as it is 1.25 a month for email which is fine.

Cheaper to sign up as a new customer through quidco

http://www.quidco.com/o2-home-broadband/
O2 Home Broadband Cashback rates
£50for access home broadband
£75for standard home broadband
£100for premium home broadband
£125for pro home broadband

premium is £15/m so for a year it's £170
-£100 cashback
£70 or £5.84 a month

That looks great. Do I just sign up through that site or is there anything else that I need to do?

All I can say is Quidco is great for 'somewhat one-offs' like this and internet shopping in general

Yep, you will get the payment later down the line (less £5 annual membership)

I use it for play.com, game etc online ordering, great for car insurance too after comparing quotes online. Got £150 or so from the year

We use quidco alot, and it's given us hundreds of quid in the past few years, but you do have to remember that it is never guaranteed.

O2 and Be Broadband speeds dip

My Be connection is still way better than Plusnet were. No sneaky PHORM* either.

*Plusnet only trailed it, but as someone who works in IT and appreciates people being willing to test things for me I wasn't happy to find out how they abused my trust.
