Do a broadband line speed test using link below. I think most of you, like me who are supposedly on a 8meg upgrade are nowhere near that speed. In fact i think this site is being a bit generous with its results so you might wanna try another site aswell to compare. http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest.html |

It would be ok if BT provided an uninterrupted service! |

if possible, try and find out what the max speed your router will handle is, some of the older models (like mine) dont like speeds over 7MB and will randomly reboot themselves, usually just as you pick up AA on the button.

bt are total lying knuts had a very similar prob about a month ago was 2nd in chips at final table for a $2400 package and got discoed, took 40 mins talking to some indian gentleman that was hardly understandable, finally got me back but was almost blinded away, no chance of any compensation as wasnt discoed for 2 days !!! they kept saying there was no prob anywhere with the line, but when i rang back the next day they said there was a prob.
happy ending was i did qualify via a live satalitte but that was no thanks to the lying fkers at bt

The speed up is the upload speed, or the speed at which you can send data.
The speed down is the download speed, or the speed at which you can retrieve data.
They won't be the same, the A in ADSL stands for asynchronous (i.e. different speeds).
The most relevant one to you will be the download speed, as most people will download far more than they upload.

My office BT connection went down today at about 3pm. Had to send my workers home. BT hadn't got back to me by the time I left at 5pm. Hope it's fixed today!! It's amazing (or not, when I come to think of it) how much I rely on having a reliable internet connection in my job. Doing almost anything at work without it is impossible. (e.g. browsing blonde, playing sngs etc)...  |

You need to upgrade your current gradings to a grading which is better before downgrading. One off payment of £84 pounds and then monthy installments of £19.60 for the next 48 months. Ive just recently changed to B.T after this guy persuaded me on the phone http://youtube.com/watch?v=_ekIIvfyfD8 |
