    You "forgot" to highlight the other unanswered "honest" question
    Which is of course, where's the link to your Utility Warehouse pre payment card beating cashback card?

    Explain how I can misread a tariff booklet when I have the figures in front of me AND the figure for my area is EXACTLY what I have just been told for my usage.

    Based on info in front of me and confirmed for my own usage the tariffs listed are correct.

    The only reason I can think of is that you are clueless about electricity tariffs - which comes as no surprise.

    Your fellow UW ID's are not helping you out, I can only assume that is because they are happy to see you showing your complete inability to read tariffs.

    Presumably when you do find out what a fool you have made of yourself, they hope you will be embarrassed enough to leave the forum again for the 5th time(not certain of 5th - could it be more)

    Exactly the same as tariff booklet I have in my possession Were you hoping for some other higher figures. Of course I concede they do not include VAT and are for DD payers.

    Yet again more arrogance. More fool you

    Care to visit the web site: https://www.utilitywarehouse.co.uk/home/Energy/

    I would have thought the great all knowing Cardew would go there first considering his interest in the internet

    More of a Pizza Express man myself (as I said earlier, more discerning palate) I'm getting some good vouchers at the moment with every top up with o2. BOGOF on all three courses any day of the week.

    I recommend the Etna! ;)

    You got something right! - "the great all knowing Cardew did go there first"

    That is where I found that both of you are completely and utterly wrong.

    For 10,000kWh daytime electricity and 5,000kWh night rate electricity how much per year do you think he would pay? on a standard tariff

    According to you it would be 10,000 x 10.539p plus 5,000 x 3.5p. = £1,228.90.

    Would it surprise you to know that it would actually cost £1669.50 + £21.50

    Right first time.
    ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
    Connection Speed 4786 kbps 1017 kbps
    Line Attenuation 50.5 db 27.0 db
    Noise Margin 8.70 db 11.5 db

    The downstream stats are the important ones (impressed by the 1Mbps upload BTW)
    Your router is synchronising with the exchange at 4.786 Mbps
    The line attenuation of 50.5 db shows you are a fair distance from the exchange.
    Using an ADSL2 speed predictor over on Skyuser it estimates you could potentially get between 6 and 7Mbps.
    Your router has a noise margin of 8.7db which is a bit high they can usually sync down to 6 or 7db, with a consequent increase in speed.
    So its possible that the line is a bit noisy which is limiting the speed, I'd normally suggest plugging into the test socket but since you don't have one with a removable faceplate it might be worth getting your tame BT man round to give the extensions the once over.

    Hope this makes sense.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
