we had a problem with virgin, our connection was very in and out and kept going. So I harangued them to sort it, now we only get 0.5 mps ! i have checked with other isps and they tell me the fastest available speed on the christchurch exchange is 512 mps . What century am I living in !!!!!! weirdly before they sorted the problem we had 5-7 Mbps work that out??

Virgin not been good here over the last few days.

Hi Gordon

Ummm..assuming you are on NTL/Virgin lines ..so what has the Christchurch exchange got to do with it ???

Thats for BT lines, and whoever told you it can only run half a mb is fibbing lol....it runs 8 mb...

All the best Brett

this was broadband from virgin but down the bt line which aol,virgin,bt and another one i cant remember all said was onli .5 of a meg !!!

try http://www.bethere.co.uk possibly the best ISP atm the technical if you ever need them are punjabi but know their beans and fix any problems while you're on the phone. not like the rest seriously.

BT told me i could only get 1.5 meg d/l i'm currently running 4.5 meg d/l and 1.5 meg up on pro at the same price you pay ntl for your connection.

what is annoying is that before the line went down we had 5 plus mbs they fixed it and now every company is saying we only get .5 of a meg !! Anyway i persuaded virgin they were rubbish and they are now giving me 10 meg cable for what the bt phone line broadband was costing me !

oh and at last a wireless router, which I have no idea how to set up !!!!!!!!!!

Hi

It might seem so but if you visit Gordon for a cuppa he polishes your car anyway lol...

Sounds like a good result. My Dad was having problems with Orange lately and he was getting 0.014Mbps so cue sending lots of emails to them telling them it's a problem at their end as nothing has changed over here and nothing, didn't even get a reply. Told my Dad to get a bit more sh*tty with them and start dropping the names of their competitors and what do you know, problem fixed in under an hour.

You've put the idea of chocolate digestives into my head now and I'm going to have to go down the shops

hey you could have a nice trip up to the pageant of motoring ! where in Ndev are you?

Barnstaple. What's this pageant of motoring you speak of? I feel a bit out of the loop now.
