So these guys say they can give me 24meg broadband. www.bethere.co.uk


Well that is all depending on where you live and the exchange etc. But at the moment I have 8meg and in reality get around 7.8meg so near as makes little difference.


Thing is I have never heard of them before. Anyone had any experience of this service provider.

I use them. They were brilliant to begin with. Service levels have suffered a little since they became more popular (IMO) and I've had several technical issues with them in the last 6 months (all resolved) but none in the first year. Overall I'd still say they are very good and also pretty excellent value for money. I was originally on the 24 meg service but have now moved to be lite as I realised I didn't really need the 24meg speed. Use it for uploading large image files as well as playing PS3 online and it's absolutely fine. Big bonus is there is no cap on usage unlike most other ISP's so you can download music and films to your hearts content.


Edited to add that they're a subsidiary of O2. I think they were bought about 2 years ago.

Owned by Telefonica-O2. Your service will depend on which package you buy, as I remember.


Not had any personal experience but they have a decent rep for customer service in the industry. They are unbundled which means they are not merely reselling a BT Wholesale product - they use only BT's "last mile" connection from the exchange to your house. If you really rely on phat speeds for work then ask them what their contention rate is. (ie - what is the maximum number of users likely to be sitting off Be's DSLAM in your exchange).

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
