Download Speed 7.6mb

now when i complained i got this

"Speeds quoted are maximum speed available. Your speed may differ subject to your line quality and distance from telephone exchange"

yet i was assured that before the upgrade from 3mb that my lines n distance from the exchange where perfect n i wud receive the full 7.6mb

Sometimes when I am sitting alone in my room with no one around, I will randomly say, "I know your listening", so if no one is listening I didn't lose anything, and if someone is I just gave them a heart attack.

I had plus.net for a year before my current ISP, I got out as soon as I could, horrible customer service, and horrible service full stop.

I moved to Be Unlimited, and I've had no regrets.

Â£18 quid a month for unlimited up to 24mb connection

One I did a while back.

One I did just now in peak time.

I'm with BT and only had 2 issues with them over the past 3 years (not bad I have to say but still annoying).

I've got the 'up to 8meg' connection (getting about 6.5) but as for price... work pay for it YAY

I'm with BT. I've been having connection problems these last two nights on Server #14 (32 person Badwater). I'm sure Moggie was very impressed, last night, with the Medic who was ready to go with an Uber, and then just stood there

Anyone else having problems?

Mine's good enough for me. I'm at my parents right now on Sky. Once I get back to uni though, things change

. I go from this...

To pretty much dial-up speeds

. On the plus side there are girls to keep me occupied at uni... so it's better over all

There you go Nishido - for some reason the 'img' parts have to be lower case
