Have I made a mistake

Well what can I say , signed up to  fibre and so far it's been far from an enjoyable experience . First the system is not working correctly so have to go on adsl . Then finally get the fibre installed to find I've been put on the wrong package (40/2) . Now I find my connection seems slow so do a test and instead of the 25-30 Mb I was getting I'm creeping along at 4-5Mb , I know that's good to some and shouldn't moan but when expected speed is 75Mb I am going to moan .
Now I am thinking of should I have stayed with sky on their llu where my connection was a constant 15-18Mb and cheaper .
Thank god cs is a free phone number lol.
Rant over

Re: Have I made a mistake

Have you tried the BT speedtester at http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/?
I've noticed issues this evening. BT's speedtester is giving normal/good speeds and pings, but Speedtest.net and mybroadbandspeed.co.uk are extremely erratic.

You've reconnected back onto PCL-AG01.  Try and disconnect and reconnect again to get on a different one.  I want you off PCL-AG01 or PCL-AG02

Re: Have I made a mistake

Don't want to hijack the thread, but just a quick comment - I was on PCL-AG01 and having similar problems (e.g. Revision3.com extremely slow all evening and BTW Speedtest slower than normal after about 9pm). Now on PCL-AG03 and all seems well.
