david.dakota Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 I've just done a speed check on my BB provider, and its come up with 338kbps. Seems low... I was expecting around at least a 1mg connection, but more likely 2mg (we're far from the local exchange, and i think BT use straw for the cabling). Obviously, its peak time,but even so,is this (as I suspect} about a third of a meg?!
McPhee Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Yup. What service are you on? They're taking the piss even if it's only a 1MB connection, i live a good 3 miles (maybe further) from my nearest exchange and get about 1Mbps almost all the time Monitor it for a couple of days, write down the speeds and the times of day (make sure you do 2-3 a day) and then phone em up, complain and email them the figures. They should be able to fix it for you.
MoogleViper Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 I get dial up as I'm too far away from the local exchange to get broadband. Anybody know of any good satelite broadband providers? I've had a look but it doesn't seem to be around much. And the ones around are rediculously expensive.
