When i download something like an music album and it takes at least 8 hours with a 2.25 and im paying £25 nearly for unlimited download then i think i have every right to complain.
You are welcome to come back and say you're getting the album legally from iTunes etc...but you won't fool anyone as we all know the legal download sites have pretty good throughput
...and I'd also like a faster connection, but I'm not gonna move house to get it, and I'm not gonna blame BT for the failings of copper as a conductor, I'm just grateful I don't live in Milton Keynes with all that aluminium :TUtinam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant.0 -
Hi.
I use itunes for my ipod actually.
So the stats, what do they tell u? and the modem is in the master scoket so i have been told.
Maybe some people are prepared to be happy to pay over the odds for a slow connection, maybe some people are happy to spend hours on the phone to an indian person when they phone BRITISH telecom, maybe some of you are happy that they have refused to communicate in writing. However I am not.0 -
Perhaps you should go...... and then read post #7 again!
Hint - test.
Router stats are explained on that website if you can be bothered to read about them and learn what they mean.
what is with your bloody attitude. If you dont want to help and want to be sarcastic then p!ss off and go and talk to someone else like it not me. God sake your being an @rsehole for no reason. Nothing like this makes sense to me thats why i came on here. I put the stats up. If you dont want help then jog on and be an !!! to someone else!0 -
Hi.
However I am not.
Unfortunately as others have said you cannot change the laws of physics, even if BT were to put in another line with 53db downstream line attenuation it would hardly make any difference, so you can complain all you want it will not change anything, if you want a faster speed the only choice is move nearer to the exchange.0
