Having had a nightmare of a time with Virgin Broadband (see my review on the site) we have just set up with BE Broadband.
It's early days so i'll continue to update this review as time goes on, for reference i'm in LS6, so the area is saturated with students and therefore a very high-demand area.
So far BE have been excellent, good value packages, £22 at present which includes a static IP, unlimited internet and good upload speeds. The ordering process was quick and simple and they texted and e-mailed me at each stage of my order, confirming when my connection package was sent out etc. Everything arrived on time, was easy to set up and and so far has worked very well. Speeds seem to be consistent across the board and even in peak time we get 8-10 MB which is good for our area.
It's early days so hopefully this continues, but at present I heartily recommend them!
UPDATE:
15 months on, no major problems, stable connection much impressed! read more
