hey guys

currently with plus.net, on an old package which is £22 a month, 5.5mpbs and a lot of throttling thb.

wanna switch to bethere, have checked and cable is available very near where i live, thinking of the £18 monthly package, be unlimited - and have heard nothing but praise for bethere as an isp.

We currently get the phone/broadband through plusnet, only recently the phone package.

I have no clue how to switch ISP as the first time we got broadband, 7 yrs ago, we used pn and have used them ever since.

My questions;

1. How do I go about switching?
2. Experiences with be? Do they allow etc. *cough* downloading *cough*
3. Currently I used mail forwarding features from plusnet to allow any emails sent to our plusnet email/another domain of mine to appear in my outlook inbox, is this easy to switch and do be offer a similar service?

Phone them up and ask them. That would be far more productive. I use Be and they are great.

Ring up for ISP and tell them you dont want to continue with the, they will ask you for your mac code and they will shut it off...eventually.

Exactly.

Ring plusnet, tell them they are shit & your leaving, and they will give you a "mac code"

When you sign up to BeThere, tick the box somewhere that says you currently have broadband, and give them your current ISP and the given mac code.

Wait a few days (weeks), and it normally transitions seemlessly without much downtime.

Just a quiiiiiick question. Obv. currently the router's set up with plus.net's settings, our user on there etc., once the switch happens do we just connect to the router through ethernet to one of the pc's, reset the router to default and use the default access adress to change all the settings?

Router = Linksys WAG54GS, supports ADSL2+ so can be used w. bethere

Cheers guys

You can be connected via ethernet, or wireless, if so, type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar and you should be able to login etc.
