Be (everyone's favourite 24MB broadband provider), have just lanuched Be Value to replace their Be Lite service.
Be Value is limited to 8MB speed but still with the unlimited (fair usage) bandwidth. Seeing as I only got about 7.2MB out of the 24MB line, it seemed silly not to switch!
This is what their mail shot had to say...
Dear Member, As part of our pursuit of delivering innovative products for our members, on the 29th August we launched Be value. What is Be value? Be value is an up to 8 meg product with increased upload speed (up to 1.3 meg) and unlimited usage (subject to the same fair and acceptable usage policy as our Be unlimited and Be pro products). From member feedback (yes, we really listen) and market research, we understood the demand for a lower speed product with the same freedom of usage as our higher spec products – including being virtually uncontended and no traffic shaping. Similar to our previous entry product, it is priced at £14, has a 12 month contract and is available with a dynamic IP address only. How does this affect you? Well, it’s up to you. If you are happy with your current product, then not at all. Be unlimited remains unchanged. However, if you are interested in our new product for any reason, you are welcome to switch with no cost to you, subject to the standard terms and conditions of the Be value product. If you want to move to Be value please open a ticket in your member centre www.bethere.co.uk/memberhome.do and migration will be completed within 14 hours. Please do not reply to this email, for a faster and more efficient service please raise a ticket in your member centre or call member services on 0808 2348566.
