Be-gone?

Be*

Yesterday was the singularly worst service I think I've ever had from an ISP.

Be's network started suffering from very high packet loss around midday - it carried on until late evening (9 or 10pm).

In all this time, it was impossible to get through to their call centre - not surprising given the scale of the problem. There was no acknowledgement of there even being a problem until midafternoon when something was posted on their forum.

We all know that it's only human to suffer problems - it is bleeding edge technology after all. What riles me above all other is the total lack of communication to customers.

So, how about it Be, maybe you could put up a status page like every other ISP?
