Have you just got one phone number, or two?

If just one and a phone rings in either (or both) socket(s) when you call that number, then you have a single line with a master socket and an extension socket.

Yea, we only have one number. Thanks for clearing that up
If be is saying I could get up to 8mb speed is it worth going for the unlimited option or should I just choose the value?

Value. That runs up to 12Mbps anyway so you will soon see what your maximum is, and it may even be uncapped for the first few days.

Don't forget that if you clear cookies and go in through TopCashBack or Quidco, you stand to get £40/£35 cash back.

thanks robertos
Another question. When I change provider is there a period where I have no internet access?

You may experience a brief period of no service when they're physically switching your line to Be's HDF equipment, but this won't be more than 15-20minutes and you may not be online at the time this process takes place as most people are at work in the day

Thanks
Another noob question
If I switch to BE does that mean i'm automatically upgraded to adsl2? (as I believe i'm on adsl atm)

Be only do ADSL2+ as standard, providing they can accommodate you.

EDIT: Note the "+"; ADSL2 without it is a inferior beast!

Ok thanks
what do I put in this box so I can find out how fast I can get?

What box? Where?

You mean your phone # in the Be Availability Checker?

EDIT: From your stats, you could get about 7 Meg on ADSL2+

You are looking at between 5Mbps and 7.5Mbps.

When you gave us your stats, you didn't give the connection speed. If you can post a new set with connection speed, attenuation and noise margin we can narrow the range a little, and also form an opinion on whether we need to clean up your phone wiring.

An estimate from the Be website will be less accurate as they (have to) rely on a notably unreliable BT database.
