There seem to be lots going to Be Wholesale. Even IDNet now has it available, and is in fact migrating many customers across from BT WBMC.

It's to be hoped the new Be network is soon going to be up and running.

Just a little aside, "BE has an excellent reputation within the channel for being able to deliver superfast, ... broadband".

Oh no it hasn't. Goodness knows when they will have "superfast", ie FTTC .

We will have it soon, just finishing up pricing and packages.

Will it be cheaper than Be* retail product(s) or more expensive ?

Unless they can beat the £12 special offer i have been paying BE for unlimited for the past 2 years I wont be changing

I can never understand why people don't just go to BE rather than a reseller or am i missing something?

I'm on a legacy product to, but not that good kimi

ADSL24 charge £18.90 for Be* £17 value product so it will be interesting to see if other resellers can be more competitive.

Telefonica, maybe going down the pricing route instead of the speed route as an ofset to BT's fibre products ?

It was a retention deal about 2 years ago, if i remember right it should have been £18 but got offered the deal to stay.

The problem with resellers is would they have the option to offer these type of retention deals? if not then they could never compete with going straight to BE

Should be cheaper

I think the resellers in general offer webspace and email included? And a box of Quality Street with any routers purchased. That last one is only to each 100,000th customer unfortunately.
