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

    Hi Cat ~ sproggs are good thanks :D 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 :D

    However, I am currently like this:

    :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    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.......................

    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 :D

    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 :confused:

    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:
