Re: Where is my 16 Meg???

In my experience, BT Openreach engineers are about as reluctant to pass though your door as you are to let them in; they will try all other options first.  However it might be necessary to get your fault fixed.

No BT man comes through my door.

Then you'll just have to live with the problems!
Or cancel the SDSL and telephone and move to a supplier not dependant upon OpenReach in any way such as Virgin cable.

Well I am renting this flatand hopefully will move out in 6 months.
Landlord can't be bothered I am not paying BT so I might just need to live with it  Wink
Many thaks for you all! I have to go to work soon so by for now  Smiley
As for Reed Richars;
Unless they are crawling through within the cable they can do whatever they want.
If I see their head coming out from the phone socket, I dial 999 breaking and entering Cheesy

Norbee,
I'm hopeful that this has actually improved your performance.
Your line is currently banded (due to previous problems).  I've just asked one of our faults team to reset the line for you.
Can you give it a few hours and see if you notice an improvement in the sync speed? Profiles may take a bit longer to catch up.

You're now syncing at 19Mbps.
I hope you are seeing an improvement at your end.

Hi Jameseh,
There is a little improvement with speed but only 2.55Meg so I guess still faraway from original speed.
Many thanks for the update!

I think it is still waiting for the BT profile to update.  The sync speed is about 800% better than it was yesterday.

Thanks for your time on the phone.
As I mentioned, something looks very wrong with the tests that I'm seeing from BT.  I'll get a fault raised and will book an engineer for you as soon as possible.

Re: Where is my 16 Meg???

Love people like you who enjoys other people's sufferings...
I have to bend over to PN so to see what the hell has happened with my speed or should I just simply ring in for MAC after receiving a kind email about new price rises?Huh
Than you can sit back and enjoy your popcorn while cutomers are leaving and you find yourself in the nearest jobcenter signing up for benefits...cause PN goes down due to arsholes comments like yourself!
