Your WBC experience

[Rik]

I'm with Simon, Ann. So far, the only extra data we have is from David, who has gone to AAISP, but his problems have moved with him.

[Simon]

Yep, and we're still stuck with him!   

[Ray]

 

[Rik]

Well, strictly either Brighton or Hastings is right now.

[Ray]

Perhaps they'll keep him there. 

[Rik]

I give it four hours.

[Ray]

I give it four hours.

As long as that? 

[Rik]

You'll notice I was careful not to qualify that.  

[Simon]

He might come back with a ladyboy - or, perhaps an even worse thought, AS one!

It would be interesting to know the ratio of long term success stories. On the one hand it's more likely that you'll only hear about problems which may be a small proportion. However you have to take into account there maybe quite a few people that don't realise they had a better service before the move.

[Rik]

Plus there's a lot more customers than forum members, Zap.

I guess mine is a success story, a little more speed at the cost of some instability, but no more than one re-sync a day.

[quandam]

Given that a few forum members are no longer with IDNet, but still discussing WBC issues, I wonder if it would be useful if those members could indicate in their sig, which ISP they are now with?

Simon

What a good suggestion, I think it would be more than useful as you suggest, it is essential. To maintain a fair picture of events this information should be displayed

[Simon]

We can't make it compulsory, Q, but indeed, it would be helpful. 

[Noreen]

I got this result this afternoon, at James' request. I'll do another for him shortly.

[quandam]

Absolutely, Simon!

[Rik]

It is shifting around a bit, isn't it, Noreen, and you seem to have lost some sync speed too.

How's the arm coming along?

[Noreen]

The arm is getting better, Rik, although it's fairly stiff. Which is to be expected I suppose.

Just got this result for James.

[Rik]

It's crazy, I'm getting 3M+ on a 4M sync. 

I'm glad the arm is on the mend, though.

[drummer]

I've just been sending BT speedtest screenshots in batches to support for the last couple of weeks, in response to an earlier announcement request to send details of consistently low throughput.

Should I actually report it to support as an individual WBC problem, or is it still being dealt with en masse?

[bobleslie]

I stopped sending mine because, I reasoned, if Support wanted more they would ask.  

I just feel fortunate to be back on line, almost at any speed.

That feeling won't last long, though. 

[David]

Of course. You're a founder member. 

[David]

When I am no longer with IDNet, I won't post in these sorts of threads.. I agree it would be silly to do so.

I would have thought ,the broader the map the better idea of the worst affected ,the isp I don't feel is the issue ,or if it is this method will help highlight issues which may be more relevent to BT rather than an isp ?

The worst affected area wont necessarily be with only one provider and if it proves it is then this helps.
I would have thought this way might benefit all 

[Simon]

It could do, David.  We value any collaborative data which might help existing, and indeed, future users.
