It will go bad soon...

You must have a noisier line than they think you should have, Steve, or they've got the line length wrong.

It said I could get 8Mbs which is my full sync, but of course no hint of WBC, thankfully

I just took a look at the BT check, gave it my phone number and told I can get max 4MB, gave it my postcode, told, great you can be part of the 20MB and you will get 6MB. Does not really check, does it now.

Hi Dean and welcome to the form.

No, it doesn't so much check as pluck a figure from the air.

Dean and

Technical Ben · Sep 04, 2009, 00:01:05

Said I can get 6.5, which is about half a mag slower than now

Although, I never understood BT and their "Upgrade from 2MB and get "up to" 8mb" and still keep 2mb

Now it's "upgrade from 2mb "up to 8mb" to "up to 20mb" and still keep you 2mb now!!!" or something to that extent.

It's like me saying I promise to give you up to a million pounds!* It's all advertising hogwash.

*any number from zero to one million decided by me!

Edit: Markup sorted

Oops. I just realised I work for a company that does exactly this. We offer "unlimited returns" on investments, with only one promise, we will not loose your money. So in 5 years you get your money back... and nothing else

Rik · Sep 05, 2009, 16:36:58

That's probably slightly better than BT manage.

We estimate your maximum connection speed to be 0.256Mbps. This is the fastest speed your line can support.

i think that is probably the system for getting to lye and is actually telling you how fast you will go if you move to BT due to exchange congestion and lack of routing knowledge

Rik · Sep 22, 2009, 17:44:04

Big fan of BT, eh Colin?

Colin Burns · Sep 22, 2009, 18:05:46

they're my best friends rik but i think its you there after

Rik · Sep 22, 2009, 18:09:01

They got me today, phone line was as crackly as hell. Miriam had an engineer here in two hours flat. I knew it was worth moving the phone to IDNet.

Colin Burns · Sep 22, 2009, 18:17:45

and then they told it was your phone as they break it infront of you to slap you with a big hefty bill

Rik · Sep 22, 2009, 18:19:06

No bill, no blame.
