After a long period only using the work connection, a local unsecured network and a slooow-ass dialup connection, I am back online! Kudos to Be, who are providing a connection about ten times as fast as my old pipex one, for a slightly cheaper price. I am still a little amazed at how fast this connection actually is, I can pickup a 150mb episode of something in about 8 minutes...certainly beats the days when I used be happy when the speed reached 3.1kb/s (effectively maxing out a 28.8bps connection). The Be ordering process was kinda fun too, they have an online checklist which counts down the steps until you are connected. I think you will agree it is much nicer to check a website everyday and see a little progress than to just wait with no information. Also if I can refer 24 people to Be, I get free broadband for life...or until I move.
