      Thats what I used to have and was happy enough with it, but recently BT have run a lot of fibre optic to cabinets all over the place and are offering normal broadband connections from the cabinets to residential homes, and the speed uplift is huge

        Ah, I have heard of that, called ultima over here, we have a fibre cabinet about 30m from our house, loads of money though compared with the normal broadband. Feel hard of spending the money as don't really need that sort of speed for what I do, would be god for downloading films and things though

                          You need to pour a bucket of water on the bit of wet string that connects you.

                          There's something seriously wrong there though as your upload speed is three times your download. You 'phone line doesn't mid which direction the data goes, but they usually limit upload speed, so the download speed should at least match the upload.

                          My download speed is 6.89 Mbps
                          My upload speed is 0.24 Mbps

                          This is on an over head BT landline about 2 miles from the little local exchange that has the internet connection

                            Tell me about it - I'm sick of arguing with BT - our exchange is about 2.5 miles away and we're about the last on the line.
                            The line is draped in hedgerows, drooping between poles and gets hacked to bits every time it's hedge cutting time!!

                            There must be dozens of joints in the line and it is so subject to weather conditions it's untrue.
                            The best I've ever seen is 1.3mb download - I check our speed weekly, sometimes daily when it's totally crap.
                            I've got a good set of figures now for the whole of this year and am going to have another concerted effort at the bar stewards shortly.
                            their stock answer is they don't guarantee you 2mb for your money!! I certainly expect a f***s sight better than what I have most of the time and now have figures to prove the average is little better than 380kb (0.38mb) over 8 months.
                            The only time we get anything decent is after they've had to put it all back together again after some farmer's hacked it to bits with a flail and they've grafted in two new junctions and a load of new cable ....... again there is certainly a lot of it that needs total replacement and if I could hack the loss of net for another two weeks (that was how long the last repair took) I'd hook up the line to the back of the Rangey and drag the bloody lot out the hedges one night.

                            'Praps we ought to plan a holiday somewhere and 'deal' with the issue the day before we leave !
                            Might be sorted by the time we get back!!
                            If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!!
