Alternative BT Broadband

We have BT Broadband into one of our Depots in Warrington and the service from BT is shocking. We are paying up to 20MB and all we are getting maximum is 1MB which is rediculous. BT have checked and said thats as good as it get which is proving impossible to use

I have looked up leased lines, EMF Circuits, satellite broadband all of which is very expensive. Virgin are not in the area, and I am at a loss as to what to do? Any ideas or recommendations please

    samknows will tell you what is available in that area. It sounds like you're using ADSL at the moment, maybe that is the best you'll get.
    Your next best option if that is the case will probably be to go for a dedicated line, which as you have already found out, costs quite a lot.

    Unfortunetely 1Mbps is 'up to 20Mbp's, contractually speaking. You can only get what the line supports.
    samknows will tell you if/when FTTC might be available.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
