I am quite a good position to make a review on Blueyonder as I worked for them from the year it opened in 2001. I was in the tech support department back then. At the time we were all situated on one floor. This was the News Groups, Abuse, 1st and Second Line Support etc. Moral was absolutely great. At times when servers went down the phones went ...  Read the complete review

When I got my Blueyonder internet package, I decided to use the email account they gave me. I now regret it for 3 reasons: 1) It's hard to find. If you're on the main blueyonder site, it's at least 3 clicks before you get to the login page. At home it's on my favourites list, but if I'm at work checking home email, it's always a fiddly ...  Read the complete review

I was given to understand, as a pensioner, that the computer is all about information technology. "Information"?? What a laugh! My established means of access to the blueyonder email service has suddenly been turned upside-down, without a prior word of warning or explanation. If this procedural jungle is what so-called "information ...  Read the complete review

Blueyonder broadband... after a bit of a fiasco with the installation - three goes by their hapless technicians before things were working - the connection seems fine. However connection is done with a CD which is intended for a modem / Windows PC. If you don't use a PC directly with the cable modem (ie if you have want a wireless router ...  Read the complete review

I initially went to "Blueyonder" (Telewest) from BT with a great deal of trepidation, and ready to go back to BT at the first sign of trouble or any lack of service from Telewest! Six years on... And I'm still ready to go back to BT at the forst sign of trouble - I just haven't had ANY problems with Telewest's service or ...  Read the complete review

Having used telewest (now called blueyonder) as our telephone provider since we moved into this house 6 odd years ago, it was natural to use them for internet access (dial up) when we first got a computer. After about a year of using dial up Telewest did an offer of free installation and network card for the broadband (then 512k) ...  Read the complete review

As I sit here waiting for XP to install again on my computer, I figured I'd write about my internet connection. I really miss it at the moment, my main machine / server is offline so I'm having to use my laptop, which can't get online itself unless I call Blueyonders customer services. Blueyonder are a great ISP in most respects. I ...  Read the complete review

telewest broadband (Im currently using 1(1.5)mb with intention to upgrade to 2(3)mb - Advantages: good value, recently upped connection by 50% so 512k is now 768k, 1mb = 1.5mb, 2mb = 3mb for same prices as before, excellent customer services - Disadvantages: none come to mind

I joined blueyonder broadband about a year ago now and I am glad to report that i have never been happier!!! The service has been running non stop for a year and I?ve never had a glitch, the service is fast, great quality, its not expensive, cost nothing to get set up i.e. free modem and fitting and the email address has been great no ...  Read the complete review

Dont you just hate surfing the web just lately! It seems no matter what site you go to, this one included, that you get inundated with Pop-Ups. Im forever having to click little crosses, I swear I dream about clicking these little crosses in my sleep! You might only have 10 minutes to spend to search the net and you can spend ...  Read the complete review

In the earlier days of internet I was with 2 ISPs; Globalnet and Virgin Internet. On moving to the midlands, I swopped TV, telephone and Internet to Telewest. By default my ISP was Blueyonder I have found the following about the Blueyonder Service. _____The dial-up_________ You may find your dial-up failing ...  Read the complete review

I have been a blueyonder customer for roughtly 2 years now and i have to admit they arnt that bad.. I was one of the first people to be connected on this new broadband service in my area and was amazed at the speeds! but with a price around £35 now £30 i wanted a good fast and reliable service. Things were all fine for the first few months until ...  Read the complete review

It's good. Everyone will tell you that using a cable modem as opposed to a dial up connection is akin to the difference between a biplane and Concorde. I noticed on here there was a query about the engineeers, I know that installation fo the cable modem was troublesome and awkard. Yet one phone call and I was up and ...  Read the complete review

I had a letter which came through my door from blueyonder telling me that I could be accessing broadband via cable. I called the next day and was told that the cable would be installed the following week. Installation was quick and the cable was fed through the hole which the technicians had drilled through the wall in the front of my ...  Read the complete review

I've had Blueyonder for about 6 months now. The immediate impact was, of course the increased speed. It's much faster than a good dial-up connection, but may not be quite as blistering as expected because you're still affected by Net congestion once outside of TeleWest's network. Having used Blueyonder for a few months I ...  Read the complete review

This opinion is in 3 parts: Part 1 describes modem connection to internet. Part 1: When I first got my pc, I bought it primarily for internet browsing. At the time we had cable TV through Telewest and already being a customer I had 'Surf Unlimited' package installed. Telewest arranged a convenient time to ...  Read the complete review

This will be my third, and hopefully last opinion on an ISP for quite some time. So far, I've used (and mostly written about): - a) COMPUSERVE back in the days when you got three hours use a month for US$9.95 AND BT's charges for the phone calls! Having got wise to this, I cut over to? b) FREESERVE'S BASIC ...  Read the complete review

Being on Broadband with Telewest is definitely worth while. - Advantages: "always on" connection, reasonable price - Disadvantages: can be a little slow early evenings

worse decision I ever made - Advantages: price is ok - Disadvantages: service is awful, once u change your stuck with them, frequent faults

After becoming a complete Internet addict over the past few years, it seemed only natural to switch to broadband when it became available in my area, so I did. As BT are still getting their act together, the only other option was Telewest' Blueyonder Broadband. PRICE There are two scales of charges for this 512kbs service, ...  Read the complete review
