I agree with others whey they praise lightning speeds and service of Be. There were problems, however, when I tried to connect its wonderful Be Box modem. May be I am not that good techie to do all that. I had to call technical support but the response was prompt and they acted instantly to fix the problems, in fact there were no problems at all, just a bit of fine tuning and I now get amazing speeds and so far I have never had any problems.

Having been with BT for years and never having a technical problem, I decided I wanted more for my money so searched for a better deal. I found BE. What a great package. The speed is amazing even though I live in an old building with wiring issues.
I would recomend BE to anyone. Great stuff!

Problems from day 1 with disconnects every two to three minutes. They tried a new connection and changed the tie pairs at the exchange - but no improvement. Currently still experiencing disconnects yet they will not allow me to move to another ISP without payment of their cancellation fee. Yet they admit the service is not right.

Be broadband prices are competitive like any other ISP considering the ultra-fast connection speeds they offer. You do not get freebies like email or domain names, but their speeds are reliable and customer service is extremely satisfying. Go for Be package and you wont regret later.

* Super fast service
* Very good pricing
* Extremely reliable
* Customer service is TOP:
(not an excuse to lie, cajole or fool)
* They mean and do what they say
If you are looking for a new provider bethere.co.uk is a must consider ISP. If you miss a payment they send a nice email asking you to catch up - others cut you off :D

This is an amazing site. After using all other connections, I have been finally connected with this broadband service.
Wonderful services are provided. I have been using this service for the past three months and until now; I does not met with
a small problem. Prices are much more reasonable when compared to other services. The latest 24meg service is excellent.
Firewall protection provides great security. Free router provided by them was simply configurable. What an awesome speed. I
have really missed this for so long time. I recommend this broadband connection to everyone. Come let us join and enjoy the
net.

Their downloading speed of 24 Mbs is simply wonderful. I have been using Be there broadband for the past 18 months. I have chosen the unlimited option, and I arrive at the best results. When I reported that there is a minor problem customer support instantly took upthe matter and the solutionwas worked out.

I have been working with 'be' for the past 6 months. It has been simply the best. It provides us with the fastest broadband around 24mb. The customer service provided here is prompt. I feel downloading can be done at a much faster rate than any other service provider. With all these loads of advantages I would recommend any one to blindly opt for BE.

'BE' is fairly cheap when compared to competitors but when it comes to speed...this is the worst service that you could ever opt for. The wireless modem provided is a good offer but, the speed is simply disgusting. The customer care is also very unsatisfactory. If you don’t have that much of technical knowledge then its better that you switch on to some other service provider.

After trying various broad bands I am finally in to 'be there'. It is very reliable and has ultra-speed. The offer of providing a free wireless modem is very attractive. The downloading speed which is up to 24meg is astounding. If you are a person who downloads hardly, then you can go in for the offer of 1GB/month service which they provide for 15 pound/month.

Having researched Broadband fairly extensively I finally opted for Be There because of their reliable service. The customer service is exceptional and really fast. They are the first UK Broadband Internet service provider (ISP) to deliver the awesome power of up to 24 meg broadband with the latest technology products. All in all, I am extremely happy with it.

I hope this is my first review in this site. Be Broadband offers very speed service and I can upload faster than AOL. I had some problem in initial migration and I have spoken to the technical support executive for a long time to sort out the problem. Friendly and affordable service.

I am a software engineer for the past 8 years and have used many broadband suppliers. Of all I have come across, I feel Be There understands customers much more than the others. Good post - sales help and speed is also good. There's something wrong at times with the connectivity, but that's fine when you get good customer service.
