‘Be’ breaks UK broadband speed record with an 18.5 Meg connection
Be, the UK’s newest broadband provider, broke the speed record yesterday when their first customer, Stefan, connected to the Internet in Clerkenwell with a download speed of 18.5 meg.
“I didn’t think it would make that much difference, but it’s actually really excellent. After 20 minutes, I was utterly sold” said Stefan.
Be is one of the first Internet service providers in the UK to take advantage of ADSL2+ technology.
Be’s 24 meg products give customers up to 24 meg downstream speed and up to 1 meg upstream speed, depending on their distance from the local exchange.
This should go some way to addressing people’s expectations of ADSL2+. That not everyone will get 24meg.
