I HATE Onetel
« on: 10 December 2006, 20:09:52 »
For 2 weeks now I have had a rubbish service, ended up going PAYG with UKONLINE, I have had probably 2 usable sessions with Onetel in the last two weeks. They say it's the line (not - ie ukonline), gain (not as ISDN), and they waffle on about talktalk whatever that is.

So if things start to disappear don't worry, it is my rubbish ISP!

With "free" internet.

Define "free"?  (I think ASA have told them to stop that particular claim)

27/12/2006 however limited to 1mbps.

Been running at 128kbps on dialup!!!!

Tried the Modem, Onetel works but is too slow!

Asked for a rebate and to pay my phone bill (luckily work picks this up!)

I am a bit worried that contention ect will drag BB to below 2xISDN levels!

Yes it was costing work nearly £100 a quarter but they did want me to be able to access the office (direct dial up) beleive it or not we got Broadband in  a village where work is before Worcester - I've had ISDN over 4 years.

Now use Netsupport over the internet.

If it helps, my Zen line (the line that this forum runs from) gives a good 2Mbps download speed, and good upload when its not hammered by you buggers browsing this place :P -  its an old style fixed 2Mb line.

My BT Business Broadband line is a MaxDSL 8Mb. Evening download speeds drop as low as 1 - 2Mbps but rise to 5+Mbps in middle of night. Uploads are better (Max line has 448k upload).

So, yes, you will see contention at peak times, but should still be way, way faster than bonded ISDN.
