On the advertisement, it says upto 8mb. The fastest speed is all I get is 0.13mb.
I am their customer since 2006 till now. During the beginning, their were broadband faults, I often phoned them and they do care the customers and fixes the problem. Even they gave me 10mb for me to test for a short term, I have noticed that. After that they have turned down the speed around 2.2mb to 2.5mb, I have no problem at all and so I have continue using it unti now.
Just recently this week, the speed gets worser and worser each time I go and search online, very slow, it is similiar to dial up (no difference to dial up in this case), the maximum speed is 0.14mb to 0.12mb.
I have also emailed the company (plusnet or force 9) but no response from them for a few days now and even I have sent screenshots to them but still no reply.
If you guys were me, what would you do about this situation?

Welcome to the club, Nicole.
I would recommend trying another router first - Plusnet/BT will charge you £144 if they send an engineer out and the line is found to be in order.
Also, be cautious in ringing Plusnet's overseas tech support - I waited 20 minutes to speak to someone who advised they couldn't help as they hadn't "...been trained" Splendid stuff.
You couldn't make it up.
