damn right i do, just signed up for a yearly subscription with uk-online,and what a load of bull download speeds of 20 kb/s,on my connection thats a joke,and i want my money back have done daily adsl speed checks,rsults come in a measly 300 kbp/s and on a 2 mb,thats what i call a rip off [bold]just wanted to let the world know that i am pissed,..big style[/bold]
But 300kb/s is a good speed for 2meg. How long ago did you sign up? sometimes it can take a few days to 'configure' itself and get running smoothly - mine did Lethal
No, but a friend of mine is and has had no probs. Do you mean the communication speeds or the download speed? Do you mean 300kbps? Because 300kb/s is download speed Lethal
yeah,shite,my bad 300 kbps, its actually just tested in at 450 showing a potiental downkload speed of 56 kb/s
Well that's an improvement - give it 2-3 days. Trust me. Mine was cutting out, doing 4kb/s when i first switched to AOL. But after it sorted itself out, it was kool. Give it time Hursty
This is what I got on http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/ I have a 1meg connection So by the time yours is sorted you should be kickin at about double that. Lethal
yeah man,the speeds do improve,like first thing in the morning,came in at about 900,but come the evening,the speeds are like so slow you can expect some sort of slow down,whe the lines are busy,but not to this extent those b*****s are throttling the bandwidth,its just proving it watch this space,see if things improve thanks for the link
why the hell are you guys bothering complaining.i've got a 16kbs modem getting a 11.5kbs connection and lucky to get downloads speeds of more than 2kbs.i tryed with a 56k modem but could only get 32kbs connection.in my area i cant even get broadband either.
why i am complaining?????????????????????? cause its costing me £25 a month,thats why and this is the safety valve forum,and i can say what the hell i like !!!!!!!!!!
im sure your rich and can afford it.you probably had 2working parents bring you up.you could be given $100000000 and still not be happy.i can say what the hell i want this is safety value.
Come on boys, let's not start a flamer here Xboxdevil, if you don't have any useful suggestions, please move on.
its not my fault,you have a poxy connection i dont,and i expect to get what i am paying for you are paying for what you have and you cannot expect anymore. and btw its not my fault you are a bastard child,just because i have 2 parents,what phucking difference that makes,i beg to ask??? wtf has having 2 parents bringing you up got to do with anything,least at all this thread,and most of all,wtf has it got to do with you?? dont start with the smart ass remarks,take your crap somewhere else. end of, next time i will post hundreds of pictures in this thread,so it will take you 3 weeks to reply,after you have finished downloading the images hehehe
LOL. Anyway I wish BT would upgrade the telephone system in this country (England) so we could get better speeds. In Japan and South Korea a 2 Meg connection to them is like a 56 K connection to us. Bog standard. Bulldog advertise an 8 Meg service but it only reaches that speed in London.
the service sucks in this country, i was happy to plod away with wanadoo,but they were about to kick me off for downing 100 gb a month on a 2 gb limit hehehe just been waiting on hold for 1 1/2 hrs for technical support with uk-online,the message says,10 mins max what year is this???? 1956???,you would have thought so,with this service,some old guy pluggin in the connection pin.... same old rip off britain high speeds are mainly available in the inner parts of london,and uk-online have the cheek to advertise 22 mb speed no one is offering true unlimited downloads with the true connection they offer ntl/bt/tiscali/wanadoo....the list goes on....all the same [bold] limited downloading[/bold]
I am on AOL and I get unltd dloads. But I only live 5 miles away from London and the max I can get here is 1.1 meg, but I suppose the closer you are to London, the sooner they will upgrade your connections.
That's so true hursty. The phone line's in this country are from like the 40's. We need our telephone system to be underground so we can acheive cable speeds like Japan and South Korea. I always read the small print on broadband offers as there's always a catch somewhere.
hey hursty you post heaps of picture i will report you to the moderators.by the way im not a bastard my dad left when i was 6 so get your facts right.im not trying to start a flame war im just saying be happy with what you got.people are complaining and my speeds arn't anywhere near as fast as theirs.
Heh... O.K, so your speeds aren't great. Just because somebody else can get better speeds, doesn't mean you have to start moaning about yours. Hursty has a problem which we are trying to put positive input into. If all you are going to do is whine that you have bad speeds, do it on the phone to your ISP
@ xboxdevil Why don't you look into satellite broadband. It might be ideal for you if your telephone system can't cope with broadband.
