Broadband Speeds (Again)

[Scorpion]

My Virgin broadband has been p!ss poor recently, I've done a few Speedtests over the weekend at different times and it's averaging out at around 2.5mbps.



This is from a fibre optic cable connection (allegedly) that's supposed to be delivering 10mbps. I rang up to complain and all faults for the phone or TV side are dealt with by a call centre in Scotland, but guess where the broadband helpline is based? Nowhere near bluddy Britain, that's a certainty.

After pressing numerous numbers on my telephone keypad I finally got an Asian gentleman who I could not hear, due to the terrible line connection. In the end I just gave up!

I'll try the cancellation department tomorrow!

They've been garbage since they introduced the 50mbs thing that BDT is on.

It'll sort its self out in a wee while, they always slow down when they up their top packages.

our crappy BT Broadband line is...



when it works, lol, we have a break in the cable somewhere, every time its windy, it drops out. When we hear the trees rustle, we know its going to go off for a min.

Just tested my work's connection. It's woefully slow too, maybe there's another issue?

Mines is poor tonight, but I think they choke it after I do a lot of downloading.

My usual test is nearer this one, my best for a while.

I highly recommend O2 broad band, first class customer service as well.

Okay, I don't get this! If I try my nearest server (Manchester) I'm still getting 2.43mbps, if I select another (Maidenhead) it nearly maxs out!



Can you select which server you get your signal from so that you always recieve the fastest signal?
