Thats supposed to be a 16meg connection! the exchange is roughly 50 yards away! Sky are w@ank3rs!!
If my experience is anything to go by, it could well be more to do with bt than sky who rent the line from bt. The line in our road is 3.5km from the exchange, but has so much noise it sometimes drops to 500kbs which is worse than pants. This level of service has been the same with 3 different providers. Bt themselves who we left for oranges free service. They could not mach the speed to the level the line could take so all we got was errors and no service. So we left them for sky who now deliver the same level of service as bt, with the phone and tv we pay 36 a month. £4 a month less than we where paying bt for just the phone and broadband.
A total saving of £59 a month now that we dont pay bt's £25 broadband and £30 monthly phone bills.
But that still leaves us with a crap broadband connection due to the phone line, or rather bts crap exchange on the end of it as i understand it. So question is, what sp do we try next?... as the Mrs needs better service for work and they will pay for it. My thinking so far,
Virgin, quickest probably, but cant face their customer service.
O2, allegedly have their own, equipment in bt's exchange and is probably favourite but how to prove the service before the install?
Talk talk as 02
3G via the mobile phone network, im told this can be set up to work for all devices in the house, 2 wifi phones, 360, ps3, 2 lap tops and a pc we rarely use.
Anybody got any thoughts..? Tia.
