Jake Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Wait till you have a problem and then find out what a bunch of cunts Bulldog are. They're the worst ISP I've ever had the misfortune to deal with - and that's saying something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 does that meet not all people can have 8 meg then?? No it means that if there are a lot of poeple using the exchange at the same time or signed up for 8meg too then you could be as slow as us 2meg or 1 meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Bulldog are absolutely sh*t. If you ever see 8meg it'll be a miracle, contention ratio is 50:1 and at busy times its not uncommon to see 1 meg at best. Eclipse, Nildram, etc are far, far better. Even with NTL 10meg I can get full 10 meg at any time. Only two short outages in the last year and I use the connection all day every day.

Jake Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Well I'm glad it works for you mate. I had a very bad experience with Bulldog a couple of years ago. They badly let down my Mrs' company too. This is the first good thing I've ever heard about them. Are you actually getting 8meg? Have you tested it? What download speeds are you getting?

Jake Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Exactly as long as you are thats the main thing, it should not matter what others think.I see what you're saying but it would matter to me if I was paying for 8meg but only getting, say, 4meg 99% of the time. I wouldn't assume it was really 8meg just because Bulldog said so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Wait till you have a problem and then find out what a bunch of cunts Bulldog are. They're the worst ISP I've ever had the misfortune to deal with - and that's saying something! Correct, Let the problems begin The upto 8 meg bit is right tho If you living inside the exchange you will get 8meg, the broadband signal deteriotes over distance from the exchange for example, if you live 1 mile from the exchange you might get 4.5mb like me sombody who lives on othe side of the street from the exchange gets 7mb but never a full 8 unless you are pretty much inside the exchange. Also, bulldog are an LLU provider not true ADSL so god help you if you try to swap back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 can someone sugest a ISP for me I am currently with BT paying £25 a month for a 1mb, 20gb download! I think thats daylight robbery. I need to have a big download capacity as both myself and my girlfriend play online games over our network. Oh and I wont touch AOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Lover go to this site http://specials.zdnet.co.uk/misc/band-test/ I am on Bulldog with the said '8mb' connection and only ever see 3 if I am lucky. Gonna try switching soon..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I was with Bulldog for over a year and was very disappointed. Performance was alright but customer services were non-existent and it was expensive. Moved to Be, got a 24meg connection - though it runs at around 12meg - but very pleased overall, really good ISP.
