The Fish 10430 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Considering switching to this from Sky, O2 offered 1st 3 months free and £20 a months after that. 20mb max speed and unlimited download (within fair usage) no connection fee. Any horror stories that I should be aware of before I sign up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I was with them before and never had any problems whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 its supposed to be very good, I will probably switch to it when my current deal is finished, because my phone is with o2 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruler of Planet Houston 1 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I heard that o2 is meant to be one of the best ones for reliability. I'm with BT now and have to say they are spot on...just overpriced. I'm thinking of switching from BT to Orange cos I get discount with my phone. Anyone know if Orange are a bad idea or not?

Gemmill 42649 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I'm with O2. Never had any bother with them, good download speeds that they never fuck with, and they regularly win awards for best ISP. Definitely recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked into switching to Orange, but it was hard to find anyone that had a good word to say about them when I started looking around on the internet for reviews and that. Didn't fancy risking it.

Was with them for about a year. Absolute nightmare. When things go wrong, which they will, try getting any sense out of the Indian call centre. Switched to 02 and their english call centre a few years ago. They are absolutely spot on and last year we stuck the home phone through them as well.

The Mighty Hog 488 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 They can be a bit hit and miss now they've started the "traffic management" bollocks (it doesn't effect older users iirc). I had some crawling speeds in late march/early april, but they were resolved. The router they send you is pretty wank too so keep your current one and look up on google how to set it up on o2, chances are it'll be a piece of piss. They did recently put up the prices on some tarriffs which annoyed a lot of people. However if you have an o2 mobile you will get a discount that makes them one of the cheapest companies.

Kid Dynamite 6822 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Am I missing something? Sky broadband is only £10 pm, why would you want to double your bill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin 1 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Because the price reflects the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky broadband is only £10 pm, why would you want to double your bill? it's £10, plus BT line rental, so £20. O2 is £10 plus line rental, with 6 months free.
