About Be Broadband

Be Broadband is a newcomer on the market, and is set to attract customers by supplying an incredibly fast 24Mbps connection. After a one-off fee for installation, consumers can choose between Be Value or Be Unlimited. The Be value package allows users to have unlimited downloads with a speed limit of 8Mbps. Be Unlimited as it’s name suggests also has unlimited downloads, but with an ultra-fast (up to) 24Mbps connection. Extras such as email addresses and webspace (100Mbps) can be included with either of the packages.

Be Broadband is currently rolling out their superfast broadband service across the UK and the majority of the UK will be able to receive Be Broadband's services by the end of 2008.

Be Broadband

Review by: j_reilly, 27/03/2008 at 16:02:33
Even though I don't live close enough to the exchange to enjoy the theoretical maximum (I get about 8-10Mbps) the quality of the connection I have enjoyed since switching to Be has been remarkable – I used to get randomly disconnected for no reason, my speed would fluctuate between the maximum advertised and sub dial-up speeds. I guess sometimes you do get what you pay for.

This ISP is incredibly underrated. They have good, reliable, speeds, great customer service and are just an all round solid service.

They may be a bit more expensive than other ISPs but it really is worth the extra cost for a no hassle reliable service.
