But the 'worst' according to the DT is Farningham with 1.3. So where does leave me, with 0.3 maximum?<br /><br />OK, we are at the end of the copper cable, and 7 km from the exchange, so we know we are going to get the worst service. BT have told us that we shouldn't really be getting broadband at all, and that we should be grateful! I think the reason I am not upset is that I am still reeling from the huge jump in line speed we got when broadband came in. It changed the way I use the internet completely, and I am still grateful for that.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743685798068014455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-55581162123868726252010-12-14T09:41:07.983+00:002010-12-14T09:41:07.983+00:003 to 4 Mbps? Eeeh, we used to dream of 3 Mbps ......3 to 4 Mbps? Eeeh, we used to <i>dream</i> of 3 Mbps ...<br /><br />I get 300 Kbps on a good day. One tenth of that sometimes. I don't do any bandwidth-hungry things like download movies, so the main irritation is that pages are sometimes slow to load, but other wise it's acceptable. Not that I would object to something faster. If ever I get annoyed, I think back to the days of dial-up, and thank the Lord for any kind of broadband.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743685798068014455noreply@blogger.com
