Yes, you can, from any PC with an internet connection. You are limited to 6 line changes a month - if you want more than that, you can do it via Tech Support.

If you want Be LLU, with lots of static IP's, and you don't want lots of daytime bandwidth, then it's probably better to get it through Andrews & Arnold because you'll get it at a similar price, but with much better Tech Support.

I must admit I do like Andrews and Arnold. Of all the ISPs I have dealings with, they are the only company to understand the problems which Openreach face with Broadband. Sky come a close second. BT Retail and BT wholesale can be awful, which may supprise people.
Andrews and Arnold are very good at customer relations, they deal easily with Openreach, and they sugar the pill for their customers.

My Be Unlimited LLU service starts 2/2/2010

Goodbye Sky - it was good while it lasted !

£10 a month for Sky is a good deal - £15 a month isn't, in my opinion, so I've asked for my MAC, and I'll be off to Be*

If you've been getting this discount, watch your statements !

Last Friday I received a warning Email about usage - this was the last straw on top of the price increase from £5 to £10 per month.

I've signed up with O2 - my work mobile is with O2 so the monthly cost is £7.50, the deal came with 2 free months and I signed up through Quidco and get a £75 cash back - so 12 months free internet - WOOHOO and goodbye Sky
