Weird goings on!

Yeah, it is BT actually...

Rik · Jan 13, 2009, 16:03:10

You see... We'll have you thinking like a proper cynic in no time.

trophymick · Jan 13, 2009, 16:06:53

Well I'm optimistic

I have had good results up here for long periods of time, (a good 2.5meg for months on end) I count this as a blip, albeit a large one

The fog has now lifted, maybe that's a good sign, the fog on the line is all mine, all mine............

Thinking about the analogy between haemorrhoids and a faulty BT phoneline. At least haemorrhoids can be cured in relatively short period of time, no one needs to come to your home and inspect them,no charge is made if the diagnosis is incorrect, they are unlikely to recur again and no permanent movement of residence is required.

I think I'd rather have the haemorrhoids.

That's reassuring Steve

Rik · Jan 13, 2009, 16:21:53

Of course, in the short term...

A favourite saying of mine is 'I'd rather walk round town with a nail in my boot'

Rik · Jan 13, 2009, 16:26:53

Neither option being particularly appetising.

The nice man from BT came today, and found a fault on the line about 275 metres down the road. in the trees

(the phone was that bad this morning I couldn't have a conversation, the noise was terrible

)
Anyhow, he tested and prodded and fixed

Things are looking better (

) and I have seen speeds that I didn't know existed up here

So a big thank you to IDNet and Brian for sorting me out

This was a test not so long ago

I know it's early days, and things need to settle down, (including me) but it's another result

Rik · Jan 14, 2009, 17:58:00

Now that is an improvement, Mick.

Sebby · Jan 14, 2009, 20:19:51

Excellent, Mick.

Simon · Jan 14, 2009, 20:33:34

Good news, Mick.

kinmel · Jan 14, 2009, 20:34:50

A result !

Now see what that 2700 can really achieve

Den · Jan 14, 2009, 20:51:33

It will be great to see just how good a 2700HGV can be. I have been using mine for some time and just can't fault it and when you take into account I live about two mile from the exchange.

trophymick · Jan 14, 2009, 21:09:22

Just managed this

David · Jan 14, 2009, 21:17:28

Great to hear Mick........

in fact...life begins at IDnet
