Fair Usage and Net Speeds
We recently moved house and switched from AOL (which were quite good) to BT internet which, according to my husband, is the worst he's ever had. We've checked that all equipment is working correctly but the Net speed in the evenings is so slow to be near dial-up standards. We are paying for 8MG but aren't getting anything…
