Customer Reviews
Be Broadband is pricey compared to other packages, but the main advantage is they do not use traffic shaping, meaning although my speed is about 4.5mbps, I get that literally anytime of day or night. No lag, ping sits at 30-40, and no drop in service. Reliable, quick enough, and rock solid.
Mister Mister - Blyth
You get what you pay for- no shaping, no throttling, and I've never known it slower than the 17 megabits that I get.
Highly recommended.
Matt - Aberdeen
A reliable and economic broadband ISP but there are cheaper landline companies
