If it weren't for the fact that I have a Demon business package incl. static IP block at my other place and only need this weekeday evenings, I'd have signed up directly. But O2's pricing for customers - my kids' mobiles are O2 - means a saving over Be Broadband's direct pricing, so I'm having to wait for them. My line is still showing on the O2 website as having Be Broadband on it, so it looks like they're still doing nothing. Hi Louise and thanks for picking up on this so quickly!
