Hi,

I am currently with BE and I am getting fed up with all the alleged Routing issues that occur every 2nd day, So looking to move on to a better ISP. I use alot of data due to streaming and such so would require Unlimited (dont like a world with limits haha) and my phone is with BE also so would require the 2 in one and I am paying £36 per month.
I am also a keen gamer so low pings would also be good or the same as my current 32ms, I also considered sky but last time my brother had it there pings were touching 50ms+

Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 1.278 / 8.644
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 27,5 / 45,0
Exchange: WSDRU
I was looking at the BE resellers but will they not just end up having a problem when BE/O2 have an issue or do they use different routing

If the reseller ISP is selling the O2 wholesale product they will be using other third parties for data backhaul and Peering, Vivaciti being one of them ,
So basically unless there is a problem that is specific to your exchange such as local congestion or faults with the LLU kit then it's very unlikely that you would see any of the same issues that affect the BE/02 retail services you may even see an improvement with your latency too, as the BE/02 retail offerings aren't particularly 100% And most if not all the resellers offer the same line profiles as BE retail so fastpath and 6-3db margins available
You are best off ringing a few of them they will tell you all about what they can offer
As for the line and voice calls i would look at primus saver, but make sure you check to see if/when they are going to increase their prices,they almost certainly will do, before you commit yourself, alternately you have bt line rental saver but is an up front payment for the year

Thanks for the reply alot of options to look at now thanks
