BALLISTIC Broadband - Check this out....
You'll have your E-Cocks out when you see the speeds we've been getting for the last month......
BT haven't got a fucking clue whats wrong. They've sent an Openreach engineer out twice and found no faults both times, his equipment see's the same results as ours, and they've done all the investigating they appear to know how to do. We've been bounced all around India and are now dealing with a specialist complaints team in the UK and they have pretty much admitted they don't know how to fix it. They've done what they call a 'Tie Pair Modification' twice also and things get worse each time, if anything. I reckon our area is just SO over-subscribed, but whatever the cause, on an 'up to 8mb service', there should be laws to prevent them getting away with providing you with only 10% of that and sometimes less. We have tested on BT's own Speedtester at as low as 50kbps and at least half of the tests we run come out in the 'red', which is sub 500kbps.
Fucking clowns. I can't imagine what its like for people with little/no knowledge, Beccy works for BT and even name dropping hasn't got any action.
Jealous?

I might aswell admit that part of BT's staff package is that they provide their Option 3 service free of charge, but that doesn't excuse this performance. I'd almost rather pay another provider for it and chance getting something better, but I don't want to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire.
I'm not after gloating to my mates about getting 6 meg or whatever, but 2-3 meg would suit me fine, so we can stream stuff like I-Player and Youtube, there's ZERO chance of that at the moment.
It's actually worse than the old dial-up days if you ask me, because although our speeds are better than in those days, pages are that much more demanding. So, the result is that you can often click a page, then go make a brew while it loads.

BT are cunt's, had them up over loads of things in the past and they just fob you off with excuses..
Luckily my contract is now month to month..
As soon as Sky agree to put me on the package I want I'll be swapping everything over regardless of the price..

Christian... if i had your ping my Call Of Duty online gaming on the PS3 would be vastly improved! Hope you get sorted soon, as i know how you feel to be messed around by BT and their stupid unreliable lines!
Here's my results for up to 8MB with Sky, results are shite due to distance from my local telephone exchange
