DK ~ I think the sitting in front of the telly thing is the idea

Hi Cat ~ sproggs are good thanks nothing really much to tell about them today, we have been to Kirkstall Abbey and played:

• Catch
• Football
• Rugby

then we came home and made pizza's

However, I am currently like this:

BLOODY SKY

We pay £10 a month for the *up to* 16meg broadband. Now I know that the *upto* is thier loophope but having run a diagnostics test (get me ) I thought that the 3 were are getting was a bit !!!!!!.

So I rung Sky-India and had am half understandable conversation which resulted in them wanting me to start unscrewing the flaming phone socket.

MB said no way.

Anyhoo ~ a pal of mine told me about a test you can run from the BT website. You just type your phone number in and it tells you the max available to you.

Or max is 3meg :eek: :eek: :eek:

So we are getting the max possible and robbing-barstewards-sky have been talking our money all this time!!

I feel a !!!!!! letter coming on!!

And relax.......................

You could say thats what its done :rotfl: :rotfl:

On top of HMRC ballsing up my wage on Friday (£200 short) by giving my employers dodgy info I'm up to the proverbial *here* with large organisations :rolleyes:

That's really bad of them, when we switched the operator bloke said our line could only cope with 2meg (bloody backwards place :rolleyes:) so it wasn't worth doing any more than the £5 (5meg) one as it'd be unnecessary cost and make the line unstable.

Thats what has annoyed me Gem ~ the fact that they have continued to *let* us pay for something thats not even available to us.

I dont mind paying for *upto* 8meg (£5) in order to get the maximum 3 available BUT the £10 charge just takes the mick :rolleyes:

If you put your telephone number in HERE it should tell you the max speed available to you in your area

Thank for that Tigs.

Part of my problem is that I dont have a BT line, so I cant use that check yet. This means that I'm limited as to where I can go for broadband, so I'm looking at the possibility of returning to BT

If it will save me a few quid a month, I'll go back, but I need to think about reconnection fees etc too.

Scary pic innit :rotfl:
