The bandwidth usually depends on your location and how far your house is from your local exchange.  They are offering up to 8meg which is not bad.

I think it's just a different name for the same service to be honest. I know when I joined I got a free home hub and phone. It is nice to be able to call other people's landlines for free. I think you can get a load of free security from Norten Anti virus as well. The WIFI is usefull to me because my PSP can use it so I can get on-line with that too.

Have you installed the little adapter required for an ADSL (Broadband) coonection? In the UK these are little white boxes with a phone lead you plug into the phone socket and two 'holes' on the other side. One is for phones the other for your ADSL (Broadband) MODEM.\n\nOne of these adapters needs to be installed for every phone in the house.

I got rid of telewest because the Internet regularly went down for days with no apology or rebate EVER and then they began charging me for phantom calls to Japan at £6.00 a go. When I eventually got someone at customer services to listen they said the computers could never be wrong - despite the fact the house was empty at the time of the calls and I dont know anyone in Japan it seems I MUST have made those calls.  Told them to stuff their shoddy expensive service xx

Join sky mate, I too am on Bt BB 8meg. I just sorted out my sky TV subscription and will be able to get sky 16meg for a tenner a month. Theres not really any cons to this deal, twice the speed for a third of the money.\nThats what I'm doing, but I have to wait 3 months until my subscription is up with BT for their BB.\nYou'll still have to pay for your bt phone line rental etc, but mines only 11 quid a month.\nAlso sky will be reliable since they are a long established company, and rich.\nBt on the otherhand has never once provided me with actual 8meg is usually around half that so I wonder what I'm actually paying for anyway.\nDefinately switch, and let me know how it goes! Cause I have to wait 3 months to find out :(

That's the maximum bandwidth. You'll never have all the time that ammount. Ask them what's the minimum bandwidth guarantee and the usual one. They should tell you because it's written in the contract!

I tried it--the Verizon DSL, that is. Is that what you're talking about?\n\nWhen it worked, the DSL was great. I didn't notice any significant changes from my previous broadband service. However, after a few days, something happened between my computer and the DSL software. I wasn't able to download anything and my computer's performance slowed to something less than a crawl.\n\nI'm not Geek Squad material but I do know my way around a computer system. After running all the diagnostics and disk/system cleanup stuff I had at my disposal, I called Verizon's tech support.\n\nTwo weeks and wh oknows how many phone calls later, they determined there were too many processes running on my computer and I'd need to call in a private tech to fix things.\n\nProblem is, I had changed NOTHING on my computer other than adding the Verizon software. So just for kicks, I deleted it. And guess what. My computer was fixed. I re-connected the broadband line and lo, my internet access was lightning quick.\n\nSo, I got rid of DSL. I really wish it had worked for me because the price is tough to beat. Around here, Comcast has the monopoly on high-speed broadband access. Bleah.\n\nIf you decide to try DSL, I hope it works as well for you as it did for me at first (and that yours never DOES do anything weird like mine did, LOL.)

The reason that I got the DSL was I got tired of getting "punted". I've always had the bill attached to my regular phone bill. They send you a DSL kit with a DSL modem, filters, and an Ethernet PCI card, if you need it. You are really going to wonder how you did it for so long without a DSL! I've had it for at least 4 years now. The service has been good, not stellar, but good. I don't care much for the tech service. Sometimes my service goes out. That's usually the fault of the local phone network.

I've checked voipdiscount few days ago (they advertised themselves as a FREE PC-to-Phone call service for some selected countries) and I didn't like that you have to pay 10 euros every three months - sounds like a hidden 3.33 euros monthly fee to me. Of course if you make a lot of calls, it's nothing (you get 20 hours or something of free phone calls), but I make only few calls a month, and I prefer Skype for this reason.

Well it does go slow due to users on the ISP and depends on the distance from the Line Exchange. Also it depends of what broadband company your using. If you've using BT and have the Home Hub just unplug it and plug it back in and it normally speeds it up.

Seems you need to sign something a lot like a mobile phone contract to get one.   I spent £60 and then £25/month to get a Vodafone 3G/GPRS at 250MB/month.  It's OK but a bit crash happy.

I think just about everyone is looking for a way to lower their bills.  The problems is there are so many offers it just looks like there is something up every time.\n\nIt would depend on the cost of the phone service including long distance charges, the type of internet connection and the cost based on the phone.\n\nAnd no, a video phone is not even remotely appealing.  It has been somewhat similated on the internet where you can do video and voice, and the quality just doesnt impress.

I've just taken out a contract mobile phone with Orange and they've given me broadband for free!

They dropped you for a reason, my friend.  Call the toll free number located on your statement and find out why they no longer provide service.\n\nNote to a few of the others who answered: DSL is a form of broadband.  Broadband is a category, DSL is a service within that category.

your internet bandwidth may have problem or your telephone line.
