Virgin and Usenet

I thought that Be did a monthly line rental thing

 

Which is a lie

Newsgroup speeds drop like a stone at mid day and return at around
midnight

however, their throttling is between 10am and 3pm and 4pm and 9pm

spot the inconsistency there

 

Believe me
Be there don't throttle

their service is excellent

 

Are you going to remain a wallflower for the rest of your life ?

 

I have a static IP with Be for £17

 

looks like they might. However, the headline price of a tenner a month
looks good. When you add on the extra charges for useful stuff like 1571
the price difference is not enough to make it worth the effort.

 

You're on a rebadged BT package through Be?

 

It's probably because they have a maximum connection limit and Forte
isn't detecting it properly. You can manually set it:

Local Loop Unbundling.

Basically a way for your ISP's to break the Telco's monopoly on the rights
of transmission of data to actually get to your data in order do whatever
it is you paid them to do with it.

 

Not as far as I know

They have their own kit in the exchange
