BT's broadband sucks. Similar troubles here too. Changed to EE and things got better.

I don't whats going to be tested more, my old 16 year old Berlingo or the Townmate, if I use them.
Steve if you remember I was having trouble with the Deauville clutch, which had a mind of it's own, it did resolve itself, the cable all but broke, now totally sorted, so I will probably go on it, now trust has been restored, going to have to find a rest-bite care home up there. Must be a redundant UAX I can break into.

No go around here Steve, every one has to use the BT network. Where i am from the exchange it is 7 miles and a bit
half way there are some bends in the road ( 6 ) the ground is solid rock and the ducts have collapsed ( 15 years ago )
when i still worked for them, inside those knackered ducts is old Aluminum cable. The only time they will get fixed is
when the lot goes off altogether

as i think it only feeds around 200, so far too expensive to fix....Ow! the
contractors still put the fibre ducts in each side thou...we have a fibre duct on the pole 60 yards away

and300
yards missing around the bends. The rest of the town have fibre to the house...120meg

and me here running at
38kb....i used to get 36kb on the old dial up

Ow! and paying for 2 tp 4 meg BTW..that is why i can not post any
pics of rides.
