Orange Broadband / Livebox

[sadscopie]

Hello fello geeks!

Does anyone have Orange Broadband? I am thinking about moving to to Orange from Pipex (They are now way overpriced) and was wondering if any goaters used them as I have found very few reviews praising them online. I know usually a bad experience prompts writing a review so I'm not overly worried about it, I just had a couple of Q's.

Are they any good?
Is the Livebox a good bit of kit?

Cheers in advance

Had the livebox for about 3 months now and it's been fine. It was a bit of a tw@t initially setting it up as the cd was crap. However, 5 mins tech support call had my desktop and laptop up and running no problem.DT_Xtremez_28:

Ive been using it for about 6 mths so far, no probs what so ever, i ve not tried using it wireless just because ive lost the install disc so i have to plum my laptop in via a adsl cable, but had two comps on at the same time wit no dramas. Ive got the 20quid a month unlimited download 8meg speed.

The BT homehub looks better in my veiw, but ten again it lives behind a desk so i cant see it.

Cheers folks, I have looked at Homehub but TBH, BT are ripping off eejits. I think I'll go for Orange, just worried that my speed will drop. Did any of you 2 notice any difference when you changed to them, especially at night?
