O2 broadband

I just read a review saying that this broadband is no good for gaming... could someone give me any other thoughts on this. We use the PS3 loads.

I have had o2 installed now since Sept 08 - at the moment i am on the pro package - i have to say i used to use Virgin (ntl) and had it for about 6 or more years - pruely the price was my big infulance to change but now i wouldn't change - o2 have been gr8 and when you phone for anything there support is top plus its a free call (not one of those 50p per min jobs) If anyone is thinking of changing or getting broadband i would whole heartly say go to o2. Well done o2 - great service !

Moved to O2 from Tiscali about 2 weeks ago. What a difference!! O2 are a lot cheaper (£7.34 instead of £15.98), better speed and proper customer services (I called them twice around 11pm and spoke to competent people in the UK (Tiscali seem to employ cheap people in India that have no idea how to sort problems)). Really happy with the experience so far and would recommend them without hesitation!

Well, I have had O2 premium in and running for 2 days now, and I am very impressed. I wasn't looking forward to setting up the O2 adsl box as I have only ever used cable broadband, but it was so easy, all I did was plug the 4 ethernet leads from the 3 PC's and 1 xbox direct into the o2 box, and that was it, I didn't have to do anything else at all. I was impressed with the speed as well, on broadband (ntl) I was paying £25 a month for 10meg down and 488 up, now I'm getting speeds of 16-18meg down and 1100 up. here is my speedtest link wit O2 http://www.speedtest.net/result/366555558.png I am very pleased with O2 and would certainly recommend it to anybody considering getting it. vangellis

First line technical support have been tremendously helpful as I was getting disconnected from the broadband a fair bit. They increased the broadband stability on the line and created a case to second line who in all honestly were not really helpful or knowledgeable and waisted time by getting me to mess around with the test socket and sent out a new router and may I add didn't call me back. Eventually they ran a test on the line which the first line advisor said should have been done initially and when the results came back it was a fault at the exchange which they sorted by getting an engineer out to the exchange.

O2 are a competent provider with a good competitive product. I migrated to O2 and found it to be a completely painless process with the router and all of the software working right out of the box. This contrast with the continual problems I had experienced with my previous provider who also filled my computer with useless junk programs as part of their installation.

waiting for my package to arrive tomorrow. changing over from virgin, at £25 a month for 10meg is too dear, so have opted for 16meg from o2. Guy at O2 tested my line and said I could expect speeds of around 12meg, well for £10 a month that sounds great. Only thing I'm a little concerned about is the downloding of torrents, as in the terms and conditions it states you must not download copyrighted files etc, Just wondered how strict they are on this issue. vangellis

To the person who said a downside of O2 is not accepting payments by direct debit.. I pay by direct debit? lol
