Finally switched! After being locked into an 18 month slavery contract with BT, and being throttled virtually every night, I finally got dad to switch to Be*, so we’ve now gone from 6100kb/s or so in the mornings only, due to BT’s throttling, to 6900kb/s ALL the time, as you can see in the above screenshot. It’ll hopefully make a nice difference, as BT used to throttle the connection to a stupidly slow 200kb/s at night.
Anyway, good thing with Be is I have a static IP address, and, even better, you can request your own rDNS if you ask them, so instead of being *.zone3.bethere.co.uk, I could be anything.anydomain.com (as long as there’s an A record on said domain name pointing to my static IP).
Of course, the only thing I’m unhappy about is the fact that even though I’m under a thousand meters from the Stafford exchange, the downstream line attenuation is still a massive 46dB. Most likely, it’s because my specific telephone line goes some stupidly long distance because BT stuffed that up too. I wonder if it’s possible to get them to change it to another shorter line thingy? It’d be nice if they did, maybe then I could get more of the 24Mbit I should be able to get. 
Mine’s faster
Mine, too.
I get 2.1 meg down last I checked.
