Hi,
Just had an interesting conversation with BE Broadband regarding setting up an account with them when I get my MAC code from my current ISP.
I chose the Be Pro 24MB package at £21.97/pm. I have been told that I would have a network contention ration of 1:1 and the package is 'Unlimited'. Now I have just been stung by BT (option 3) for going over my usage allowance which was supposedly 'Unlimited also but actually turns out to be 100GB/pm (I checked all over their site including their FUP, but there is no mention of the actual limit on the Option 3 package. I am currently speaking to them about this at the moment as I signed up for an 18 month contract last month and I am already being throttled down to 128Kb/s which is no good for watching streaming TV (legally via TVCatchup, BBC etc) for me or the other 3 flat mates that I live with.
Now BE Broadband have said that their package actually means unlimited, so I tested her by stating that I would sometimes need to back up some work servers to my home PC which may entail 2-3TB per month being transferred (this wouldn't actually happen, but I figured it would test their FUP), to which she stated wouldn't be an issue. This I find hard to believe, but I thought I'd ask here as to whether anyone know if their 'Unlimited' package is what they say it is and don't have any secret usage limits up their sleeves, like the majority of large ISP's (BT I'm looking at you)
So, has any one had any dealing with them?
