Re: Broadband or dialup?

The slow downs are listed as fixed speeds regardless of line speed. With my line speed I should barely even notice any difference with the restrictions in place, I wish!

Yeah these people that get 8 Meg, they must have perfect lines in all respects.
I can only manage 1.4 on a good day then BT's dreadful DLM steps in and whacks it down to 1 Meg.

He has not contacted me yet. I am sure he is a busy man.

Let me get into work first eh? Wink
You contacted me outside working hours, but I'll try and give you a ring later on this morning.

I know few if any other companies were staff log into forums to help customers - certainly not a single other ISP.
So top marks to the PN staff that do.  Wink Smiley Smiley

The company I work for will soon be ordering some single mode fibre for me to blow in at a current job. I will make you a deal. If you dig the roads I will get us connected. May have to work at night to avoid detection though  Grin
