WELL ANNOYED

on FRi phone went off no connection, no BB nothing was up and down for awhile then nothing
complained to talktalk and they said an enginneer is on route, well he must have set off from japan coz he arrived yesterday, 72 hrs later -------ok all fixed phone on.
open reach had rung me to say it was all working, so I kept her mob number apparently they had been up-grading the box at the end of the road and had disconnected me!!
So today rang the engineer and she said all i have done is reconnect you??
OK-------I best check, I am getting what I pay for, coz not many people do methinks
now last night did a speed check BB is now on 6.3 M down .73 UP.!!
last year on adsl I was on 8M down 1M up when I was told the max I could expect was 4 Down and .5up, so I know the line is good and will pass the data, I basically modded my modem's firmware, so I could adjust the signal to noise myself etc. to get the max poss.
Now with 4 people-- 2 GAMERS , telly boxes etc etc ADSL at 8M didnt cut it,
so I then paid for fibre and went on VDSL, I was getting 31M Down 2UP. --------so the six meg down, now, is a WEE take.
Earlier rang the neighbor and he did a speed check and he was down to 13M on a supposed 76M system!!
so it looks like the open reach 'UPGRADE', was in fact, that they have added more ---connections only---for the 30-40 new houses at the end of the road and spread the 'margarine' out thinner-------- but it looks like for us the BUTTER has melted !

I'd give my right arm for 6.3Meg.....
For me, streaming, gaming, downloading etc is a very painful process and doesn't help by having a house full of "connected" people and devices.
But you're right almost no-one gets what they are paying for.

Internet is very expensive here but i do get what they advertise. We are moving out to the sticks soon i will miss this.

About 104 down and 10 up

We have been and still are having a nightmare with plusnet at the moment really bad service from them and they are trying to bill us for engineers visits after the problem was found to be on there servers I would not recommend them to anyone not after the way we have been treated

I have always been with telewest, blueyonder virgin and apart from the odd glitch it's been fine.

They are very clever in the way they screw you you end up paying for something your not really getting it's like buying a brand new top end sports car from a main dealer then when you get it home you discover it's fitted with a 1.6 focus engine but because you have signed a contract your stuck with it

We are 250Mtrs from exchange 100 from cabinet with fiber, were told we could expect at least 30mbps that took a month to get they told me "you have 40 mbps" we were saying with screen shots 8\12 Mbps same as on wire, lot of faffing & they found fault somewhere between cab & server ( it took a lot of screen shots & time)
GREAT running at 32\32 mpbs for a few weeks now throttled down to average of 19.8 time to start moaning again As Wayne says weasel words.
I was told at least 30 & that's what I agreed to pay for, as for Up 1.9 mbps is the best I have seen, mate next door has 15 down & 6.2 up why the big difference from same cabinet & same feed till split, he is 30Mtrs further down the cable than me

I'm with virgin, and probably pay a bit more than i should do, but its been flawless in all the time I've had it and not going to risk rubbish service elsewhere just to save a couple of quid, supposed to be on 75meg, and just got this which is not bad for late afternoon, it will drop a bit later in the evening but not by much, its hardwired to the router, wifi connections tend to report slower speeds.

 

[WorkshopChris]

Just done a test we are with plus net fiber and are getting,
Ping Download Upload
196 ms 26.18 Mb/s 9.05 Mb/s

Had a on/off go slow problem for a while a few months back, but generally OK since.

EDIT just realised test over wi fi so may be card limits.

Talk talk is without fail the worst company for customer service.

 

[Kent]

Just think of folk like me that struggle to get 1 mbs

 

[skotl]

Shall I just leave this here, again?

 

[barracuda816]

That must be an american/korean/japanese IT buisness connection surely?

Im also one of the rural ones, on a good day i get 1.5 up usually 0.12~ down and the ping kills me sometimes 1040~ms

If i could get unlimited 4g i would pay good money for it. I ususally use arround 100gb a month.

I was not aware wrote had the option of 200 Meg...... must see how much that is...

Edit. seems like I can only get 150 meg
... but looks like it might be free . we shall see.

 

[normspanners]

I'd give my right arm for 6.3Meg.....

I understand that to some people who are struggling to get anything it it not a bad connection, but when you are paying for 36 Mb------ 6 is a joke.

1.5 up usually 0.12~ down

maybe the otherway round?
