O2 LLU service ( if your exchange is enabled for it ) is top notch. They are pretty much the same as *Be, same company but a different name. As far as I know, *Be can be tweaked slightly more easier by the user in their router settings than O2 can. This can be useful if you are into playing online games and would like to tweak your connection for less lag and low pings.
I'm on the "Up to 20 meg" Premium O2 service and I get @18 meg sync speeds. It's £14.68 a month and new customers get the first 3 months free as far as I recall. They have no advertised limits or monthly caps and even though they have a Fair Usage Policy I've downloaded 20-30Gb per month every so often and not heard a peep out of them. The other good thing with O2 is absolutely no traffic shaping. Connection rates are good and customer support is very good. UK based support so its not like a call centre abroad is what you end up getting through to.
I would however, stress that I'm talking about the
LLU service. The exchanges that are not LLU enabled run
O2 Access. Stay well away from it!!. It has gone downhill big time lately and is now a very poor service indeed, judging by the amount of complaints on forums all over the internet, inc O2's own message boards. Access runs off the back of BT's own equipment within exchanges unlike LLU which is equipment owned and installed by O2 themselves.
I've just signed back up with O2 for another 12 months, my first year is just up. They also offered 3 months free for signing back up with them so there is a nice wee saving already!.
