ORange (Wanadoo) Broadband

[Podie]

I've been with BT broadband for the last 18 months... and been very happy with the service. Not had a single problem or even a dropped connection.

I've got an Orange mobile, so according to their website I'm eligible for "free" broadband with them. Question is, has anyone got real experience (rather than general stuff posted on t'internet) of the level of service etc?

Is it worth me saving £20-odd a month and switching?

It will almost certaintly be wholesaled BT Broadband so your service will stay the same.

Is it ADSLMax? If not check the contention small print, if it is its a lot more complicated but you know that...

Pods, you've got to sign up for 12 months at least to get this - I've just checked and its saying that I have to 'restart' my 18 month contract to do this.

Not a chance - I'm on a monthly contract with PlusNet, and although it costs me £15 a month, I like being on a monthly contract with them - I can break out at any time should I find something better - you'd be scuppered with Orange...

... but followin on from my M600 thread, I'll be renewing my contract with Orange anyway. Ergo, if their broadband package isn't going to cost me any money and it provides a decent service, I might as well take it.

Fair enough if you happy with a 12 month contract

The alternative is to sit tight with BT.

TBH the motivation is based on cost saving...

Doesn't the free one have a 2GB limit

I have Wanadoo (now Orange) broadband, have had for sometime - works OK not had any major problems, I have the £18 p/m deal with a limit on download, however I exceed the limit all the time and never had them try to charge me any more, also got the 'livebox' wireless thingy which works great I can use a Laptop anywhere, even in the garden, can't fault it really.
