I'm changing ISP from Pipex to something else and I quite fancy the look of o2, however the regular packages aren't available in my area so I have to get o2 Access (which is more expensive bah). I just wanted to know if anyone uses/used this package and if it's as good as the others? I haven't been able to find any reviews of the Access package.
 
O2 has literally only just started to offer the BT based Access packages within the last few weeks, so you won't see much feedback. However, one of my friends is on it and doesn't appear to have any complaints.

My only gripe with O2 is that I don't like the routers they use, though that's nothing major.
 
Don't they also have a 12-month contract?

I think they do for their ADSL2+ service, but I don't know about the BT-based service.

Mt sister used their ADSL2+ service and she's happy with them (thankfully, since I pointed her in their direction).

Thanks for the information. Can't I use the router I have already? I did have a Speedtouch one from Pipex but replaced that with a wireless ADDON router.

Hi,

Yes you can use your own router, the information on the o2 website for using your own router does not apply to the access package though.

o2 access uses a whole different set of settings and requires a radius password and user name, you can get these from o2 support. +
