    If you think 0.3mb is bad what would you have thought of a 28k dialup modem?

    My greenbox is very close and i get 73MB, engineer said its actually faster but capped by the ISP (plusnet).

    If your box is a fair distance away then the speed will decrease, what estimated speeds did they give? They told me 69MB.



    It's capped by Openreach, not th ISP.

    I think the engineer got confused with 'actual' sync speed and 'attainable' speeds and doesn't know the difference.

    I am paying for something which I believe to be legally untrue, is there any recompense for these unsubstantiated claims by BT?
