<div class="IPBDescription">For UK forumers</div> I am going to ditch my BT broadband (576kps speed) for a Bulldog Inter@ctive package (4Mbit)

The price is merely £7 more than wat i have to pay. Catch is I got to ditch BT as my landline provider as well and use Bulldog instead.

Basically cost wise is about the same or slighlt more than a month only if I use Bulldog.

I am just wanting to hear has anyone else heard about Bulldog? Reputation etc.

I heard they had a bad rep and all but now they've been bought over by Cable and Wireless last March.

[Edit] My bad showed the wrong package. It the inter@ctive package.

    Can't help you with Bulldog, but 4Mbps down and 384Kbps up is what I have, and it rocks! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Do you use your phone line for actual calls? or just for the net?
    I haven't heard anything about bulldog, but I imagine that bt will be better as a phone company.
    Tho thats just a guess.

    The house doesnt make alot of landline calls. The calls we do make are short and not long stuff or are international calls.

    Im not sure if BT as a phone provider is still good. Some say their rates are crappy as ever.

    So yes, mainly BT is still there as the net provider.
