O2 and 1&1 - Bad connections, bad service


That is a load of bullshit there mate.

I have O2 tv (free movies and about 100 of tv channels), O2 internet with 4mbps dl (yeah I know thats not much, but I live in a small village) in one bundle And I pay about 30 bucks per month. Ping is pretty stable too, with around 40ms on average on most games on eu servers. You cant honestly say thats a bad service.

Cloud: And that is?
Tseng: Bitches, man.

Hmm.. Ok this all sounds good, so far everyone recommends Unitymedia.  I'll take my tablet to an internet cafĂ© or something later and check out their site.  You guys who have Unitymedia remember how long it took for them to come set it up?

nah sry can't remember..

A problem for you might be that they have only 24 months contracts atm and after what I have read moving back to the US wouldn't be a reason to get out of the contract earlier :/, but you might wanna call their hotline to make sure.

Hmmmm... This is all rather compelling.  If moving back to the States won't get me out of a certain provider's contract then I won't be able to consider them an option.  I will look at Unitymedia's site / call them about contract cancellation. 

See, the thing with O2 is that I've heard nothing but bad things about it, also from people outside of this forum.  Although, if they have no minimum contract or at least, would let me cancel when I move, they may be my best bet.  Also 30 a month, that's really good, as long as it works.

@Soulreaver:  Nice avatar.  I don't think you could get any closer to crossing over the NSFW line.

I don't really cuz it differs quite a lot from provider to provider.

A friend of mine ordered at 1&1 and from the evening he ordered it online till everything installed and running, it took them a bit longer than 2 weeks.
The hardware is rather quick, just 3-4 days but for some reason it takes a lot of time for them to switch lines.

So, generally I'd expect like 2-3 weeks for the whole process from placing the order till surfing the web.

Last question.   :D  What about having your service moved?  My lease here will be up in March, and I want to get out of this area.  Will it just take a phone call or is it more complicated / costly?  Anyone have experience with that?

anyways:  welcome to the reich. 
Yes, I know from whence I came! Discontented as a flame, Upon myself I live and glow. All I grasp like lightning flashes, All I leave behind is ashes
Flame I am - that much I know!
