Be Unlimited Broadband

Review of Be Unlimited

STOP PRESS! Greatly reduced price: Was £24 per month, now just £18 a month!

THIS is without doubt the most jaw-dropping broadband package available in the UK today.

Offering almost unbelievable speeds of up to 24Mb, and a price tag that compares to most packages more than ten times slower and no lengthy contract (although be aware that a three month notice is required if you want to avoid any cancellation charges), Be Unlimited is the cream of the crop for speedy broadband.

Excellent service

Be Broadband certainly seem to have ironed out many of the problems that plagued the Be service in the early days and users are now reporting an excellent standard of service and speeds that do indeed reach above 20Mb.

Be Broadband has even been nominated 2 years running at the ISPA awards (kind of like the broadband Oscars)!

Reduced price

If your area supports Be's services, you would be foolish not to give 24Mb broadband a try - especially at the current reduced price.

Be Unlimited is a great choice for online gamers, but if you want the best of the best, you should consider the only marginally more expensive Be Pro which also offers 24Mb speeds but boasts upload speeds of 2.5Mb, rather than Be Unlimited's 1.3Mb upload speeds.

	Be Unlimited is currently offering Greatly reduced price! Was £24 per month, now £18 per month.

"Customer service is almost as bad as Tiscali! but once its up and running its fast (20% faster than pipex on the same kit) and reliable IMO the only real choice atm"

"Details opposite say no firewall. This is wrong. The Be Box (supplied with the Be connection) contains a hardware firewall which is a major win over the software firewalls provided by other vendors as it will protect the entire network not just the nasty windows machines. Be broadband is great :-)"

"I use Be broadband for online gaming and I can tell you the extra speed makes SUCH a difference, especially the faster upload speeds. If you are a gamer I would think seriously about getting Be. Otherwise you'll just land up getting beaten by all those Korean guys who have like 100MB broadband!"
