Hey there everyone, I wrote to you in the post "Constant Dropouts, PPP Server Down, Complete Loss Of Service". I am no longer a customer of Orange! Yay.
I have been connected up with Be Broadband Unlimited - wow. What excellent service and I am getting a steady 20mb from my phone line - the SAME phone line that Orange claims that was the problem for my dropouts, disconnections and slow speed - what liars - it is obviously their equipment. My Be Broadband has been running for a week and NO dropouts, super fast and a full 20mb. My phone line is on fire!
Message to everyone - quit Orange, pay the £55 penalty (or whatever your penalty would be) if you have to and sign up with Be. Where else can you get 20mb uncontended+reliable+superfast+unlimited? Their technical support is excellent - when I first connected I only got 8mb but a 10 min phone call got my line up to 20mb with a few tweaks (fastpath) - none of this 'you could be waiting up to 20 days for the fault to be fixed ' or 'we will do a line test ' or 'call us in 48 hours ' rubbish. The Be problem was solved and I have not called them again. I did find out something very interesting with Be - your BT master socket truly gives you better performance and you also should check out the wiring in each of your telephone sockets and ensure that wires 2 and 5 are the ONLY wires connected. The additional connected wires cause extra line noise and attenuation. See http://www.dslzoneuk.net/socket.php for more information (note that this information will not help anyone with Orange problems).
GET RID OF Orange! IT IS NOT A BROADBAND SERVICE. Their dialup might be ok but you are better off using Freeola's dialup!!
That sounds great i am stil waiting for be to enable my exchange then i am off,any of you lucky people with be know if the line is stable for playing games i now there can be ping problems with the fast services.
