Another person having problems with BT Broadband!
I have several customers who had similar problems and it's cost them quite a lot in lost business. BT don't seem to want to give any compensation either. Fortunately I've been with Virgin for years and so far it's been ok. |

Its been very frustrating-spoken to some bloke in India hundreds of times-why cant I speak to someone in England at all? ...anyway after I did my own tests it showed that it was the modem that wasn't allowing a signal through...got a new modem and stuff and I was away...but 5 weeks though...Doh!

Switching from BT this coming week. Their service doesn't seem to bad but the help line is less than useless. The thing that pesuaded me was a saving of £21 per month and an extra 14mb.

BT's customer "service" is appauling, it took nearly a month before they would let us fully switch over.

And I thought I was having problems with Telewest, by not being able to send e-mails over 1mb!
As usual it went down on me (the only thing that does now-a-days) on a Friday, but was back working properly first thing monday morning! Can anyone tell me the price of BT broadband? Last edited by PDS; 25 Nov 2006 at 21:16. |

Pete, they do various types-think mine is now an 8mb or possibly 6mb broadband though they do a higher one if needed. Mine also allows free weekend calls and evenings though you will need a new phone number-it all goes through the broadband connection. Give BT a call or look-up "BT Broadband" on the BT website and it gives all the info.

One thing I found out. For the non-technically minded. When they say 8mb Broadband is quicker than 4mb! That is the download!
When you are sending e-mail, it goes at the same speed whatever your broadband 'width' is! |

i mean its just enough to upload stuff to your website, or send e-mails, but not fast enough to set your pc up as a webserver and have loads of people accessing files on it at a decent speed.
