Next Tuesday my line is supposed to go live for BT business broadband.   I currently have residential BT total broadband Option 3, running on a BT Hub 2.   Has anyone else done this successfully?   Did you hit any snags which you could alert me to please

Yes, My Dad has done it. We have been with BT (option 3) for about 4 years, Residential for years on a 1 MB connection. 

 

Never really had a problem on residential, They were great! 

 

We changed to Business last year, because I was going to run web servers and couldn't do that on residential (IP addresses).  However, I do Not run any type of server, and too be honest, BT increased are speed by about 1 MB even though on residential we were on up to 20 mb, and before that up to 8 mb. Don't know why I suddenly got increased speed. 

 

BUT, As soon as we changed we got problems.  Some advice. if you happen to move houses/premises get ready for a roller coaster journey. 

 

Unless you have a legitimate reason to change, I strongly advise staying on residential same speeds basically. 

 

Cheers.
