Yes now that Cammy is backpeddling on his pording and trolling I would agree that Plusnet may well be somewhere to look at as they offer specific 'gamers' profiles. This means that heavy p2p users will not interfere with gamers pings.

This a rare piece of good advice from Cammy to the OP that should be noted. I hope the Mods consider this when taking into account the self admitted pording and trolling earlier in the thread.

I suggest you backpeddle a little yourself. You're looking vindictive and rather pathetic.

I'm not a member of the usergroup, I am an online gamer of some 15 years experience, and have in the past used several ISPs including BT, NTL cable (as it was then) and currently BE (for the past 5 years ) I have been banned from the official BE user forums.

I won't be moving from BE any time soon as it suits my purposes perfectly, low pings for FPS gaming, excellent support should I need it ( I have a couple of times) peace of mind from not having any kind of throttling or port blocking and unlimited downloads for buying content over steam and the other various non p2p and p2p based platforms that games like WoW and LOTRo use.

That's great to know, Kammy.

I wonder why Be Network Status has stated for more than a month

"Due to a major network issue, you may experience some packet loss and increased latency in the evening roughly between 6 PM and midnight. We are working to resolve the problem and apologize for the inconvenience caused."

I would suggest this is due to problems that may be causing ping spikes to some users and gamers looking for a provider should note this. Are you suggesting that Be are making this up in order to put off prospective customers?

BTW why are you banned from the official Be forums?

Me and brett had a differnt idea of the word "Honest".

I have no idea why that status page is there as I have had absolutely no problems in the time period that Tommy and unBEliever have had theirs.

I had issues for around 2-3 weeks then it cleared up.

This is a new aspect to the discussion and sounds worrying to potential punters. Many punters use forums for support. I note BT, Virgin, Plusnet and TalkTalk have lively customer forums amongst others. I think we need to expand on why Be ban people from their forums as it may help the OP in coming to a decision on which provider is best for gaming and which offer decent user forums.

We know that Be fans and foes will be all over independent forums when Be discussions take place. It may be helpful to the OP to expand on the usefulness of the official forum and whether bans are fairly applied.

If a gamer with High pings such as suggested may be the case by the Be Status page is simply banned from the forum, this may be a cause for concern by prospective gamers.

Yes, I think the problems Be are talking about on their status page will be specific to locations that are congested rather than affecting the whole network. This will probably be to do with the way the Be network is constructed and the utilisation of the circuits they rent off of other providers.

Brett left years ago.

Brett did indeed leave years ago, I just havent bothered to get myself reinstated. I was told at the time by one of the head honchos of BE that I could come back to the forums if I promised I wouldn't do the same thing again. I couldn't promise it at that time.

Now that Brett has gone I could

Sounds worrying, Kammy.

I have had experience of an official ISP support forum banning me and then subsequently editing my posts to suit their fan's marketing campaign myself in the past.

Still, many people may not worry about being banned from the official forum, or indeed worry about the continued official status page of the provider advising of high latency in the evening for over a month.

Given the official support forum may possibly be suspect, latency may possibly be bad in the evening according to the official status page, could you advise the OP whether Be have UK telephone support for gamers banned from the official forum and suffering high latency?
