u do know for 24 meg u will probably need to live in the exchange

check what u can get before u make the move
all through this country people wonder why they dont get anywhere near full speed with adsl, its mostly down to distance and the useless old wires installed.

Anything there or around 15 mb will do me great m8.
I'm suprised no1 from vm has jumped ship seeing how our 20 meg bb is no way near 20 meg bb more like 5 meg at most times

Any ideas on what I'll have to do to get out of me contract with vm?

You can get 24mbit upto 1km away from the exchange, and around 16mbit upto 2km.

Not that many people do have really bad cabling and *most* speed problems are due to bad faceplates/wiring throughout the house.

To your other comment, all through the country people are wondering why they dont get anywhere near the full speed quoted with cable as well

1.5 km away real distance and I get 18 down and 1.3 up, solid and stable. I used Sales1 as a code and got free connection, and went through Quidco to get £55 cashback as well. Am on the unlimited package. Can't recommend it highly enough. VM 20 meg never ever touched this speed and stability.
Do it, it's easy and don't put up with the lies and grief from VM any more.
Be unlimited is a threemonth notice period so you can always go elsewhere fairly easily if it doesn't work out. Good luck.

WTG!!
My Be Pro goes active tomorrow. I hope it works as well as yours seems to. Still anything over 3-4meg will be an improvement on VM and I will be saving £15.00pm.

Lol seems a few of you have gone with Be aswell. My BT line got installed yesterday so i have to wait 48 hours before be can sort me out. I am around 3km (real distance) from the exchange i am hoping for around 8mb down and 1mb up. A few of my friends have Be aswell and they have said its excellent and the CS is brilliant. I dont know if this will get posted as at the minute i am struggling to browse the web with my lightning fast VM 20mb Broadband
