LOL at the kissing sheep.

Maldax,

Thanks for this post as a result of running the speedtest I reapplied for BT Vision and I'm getting it ready for Christmas.

My line was too slow before they reckoned.

I am very surprised to learn there is one only 3km from me.... I'm being scammed!

The little web tool only gives straight line distance. You need wire down the road distance, so add 30 to 50% and then use the graph.

I have the misfortune to be with talktalk and have had problems since they hmmm "improved" the equipment at the exchange 11 months ago. Translated I think this means they replace good BT equipment with their own substandard stuff. BT investigating again - now told below ground fault and communications seem to have stalled again! If I finally lose patience any suggestions for replacement ISP at reasonable cost. It is only the cheap price which has kept me with them.

HAMMY7387 · 3rd December 2007, 20:35

And i have an exchange only 2.63km from me

This is with bt up to 8meg

Am i being scammed?

Pottsy · 3rd December 2007, 20:55

This was from a while ago, when my ISP was playing up...

Steeph · 3rd December 2007, 21:12

On Cable, not on ADSL, but who cares.
It should be 8000/1500, so it's reasonably good.

ciderman4 · 3rd December 2007, 21:13

Content with my results. Having said that, I only live 1/4 mile from the exchange !

sonicsteve · 4th December 2007, 17:38
