once you lose your BT line with them you have to reverse back to BT

actually ive had ntl for about 5 years and only had a couple of probs in
the 1st month or so, i obviously dont have a bt line so shouldnt have any
probs with the changeover since they will need to lay a new line, also i
really dont give a monkeys about phone service since i mostly use my
mobile.

what i want is a very fast line with reasonably high availablity so i can
yank distros and the odd binary fast, also the higher upload will be
usefull.

anybody know if the asdl2+ upload spec is limited to the 1.3meg be offer
or will different companies up this.

Don't go burning your bridges, the speeds are the theoretical maximum.
It is very possible that you won't get anywhere near them.

What you want & what you may be able to get could, very possibly, be
widely different & all depends on the BT network from your 'local'
exchange & you.

Yes Bulldog will be using BT's network, with all the conudrums which
that entails. Your line will also be serviced by BT (BT Open Reach
from Jan 2006).

No you won't be getting a new line from the exchange to your property,
well maybe the last 30mtrs or so, but the rest will have been put in the
ground when your area was cabled by BT, it could be months, years or
many decades ago. So do your research or else you could be in for a big
let down...

It's a piece on The Register, with no mention of marketing. Also, Bulldog do
seem to have got their act together recently, so I would assume they will
start marketing again soon.

I've been with Bulldog since Jan 2003. They also have a lot of satisfied
customers.

you are one of the lucky ones, once things go wrong they go badly wrong,
Bulldog did agree to suspend new subs from their appearance on watchdog.

Bulldog are in danger of a severe censure for ofcom an could lose their
license ( although this is unlikely),they may be forced however to stop new
subs until they put their house in order.

Check reviews before using Bulldog, they are a terrible ISP.

It took 3 weeks to connect, worked for 2 weeks, then broke, I've now
been without a phone for 3 weeks Bulldog have done nothing about this,
they have failed to call me back every time they have said they would
(7 times). They have given 3 dates that it would be fixed (which it
never was). Im even having trouble cancelling....

In short NON-EXISTENT CUSTOMER SUPPORT - AND A POOR PRODUCT - I WILL
NEVER USE THEM AGAIN
