Ive got bses broadband connection and I shud say if u are a regular dialup connection chap, the bses connection will feel just great. infact they have a good backbone which assists in distributing good and effective connections. But let me remind you that bses does have a downtime of more than an hour, but this is quite rare. The speed is usually good at late nights and early mornings. Another point to remember is that you get connected in a LAN network. This increases the risk factor if a hacker is around. To tackle the security problem, you can ask your local bses isp dealer to help you out.
