Anyone can see how bad BE are before they join, you only need to ring the support number first and experience that call.

If that's the case, logic dictates that either the entire userbase of BE are masochists, or stupid, or have had a different experience to yourself. Regardless of the reason (real or supposed), they have made their decision and some seem happy with the service.

You seem to have had problems with them or your demands are unreasonable. I suggest you choose another ISP, move on, and enjoy life.

That's from a Plusnet user, in case you're wondering. Never used BE. Have no plans to use BE.

BE IS CONGESTED

So just a coincidence the anon poster has been posting in the style of maybe one of two or three people who have some unfathomable problem with BE whilst you've served your ban, and your ban ended today (and the anon poster is suddenly replaced by posts from you).
Yeah; just a coincidence.

In any case; BE is not congested (if they were, speeds would be plummeting just like they do at every other congested ISP).
BE has one link to an 3rd party network (LINX) which has a habit of not responding quickly to pings.
Not exactly what you would call a massive problem (well; you might, but everybody else will see this as a routing issue and NOT a congestion issue).

Apart from anything else; stop hijacking threads with irrelevant comments about BE (which wasn't even being discussed here, until this "mystery" anon poster butted in and tried to steer an IDnet thread into one slagging off BE).

Please take another ban anytime you like (the sooner, the better, really)

And I would definitely recommend IDNET at least you know who you are talking to and that they will do their utmost to resolve all issues. Just to bring it back to Idnet part of thread.

It's quite possible that certain parts of BE's network are starting to creak a little if local demand has been high so while the anon poster has had issues others may not have done.

I think we need to tone down the insults here folks, its really not helping anyone.

More lies, my ban ended on Sun 14th August, would you like staff to confirm that or a screen grab?

Ill happily make you and Miss Beusergroup look like clowns all day.

I consider your comments libellous and harrassment and ask you therefore to desist immediately

I consider your threats, like your facts and LIES to people about congestion, hot air.
