After waiting for this broadband to go active since before christmas,it's finally started working today,just did a speed test:

It's with sky broadband though,not easynet.
Decided to get the best broadband package available with sky,and got a sky+ box with a smaller? tv package with them [no premium or music channels] to make up for it.

What is everyone elses results?

fibor optic so far, never had to reset the modem like i did when i had their dsl service. the service itself is great but NEVER under any circumstances install their custom browser that comes with the yahoo or msn builds, it has more bugs then a bugzapper at a campground.

It costs me £17 for 4mbit cable broadband. I think theres much better available for the money but at least its reliable when I am not downloading. It normally costs £25 a month.

If I download between 4pm and 11pm at night my connection can get disconnected for 30mins and when I manage to return my connection speeds will be at 10% till after midnight. It seems like they deliberately limit my connection.

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

Autism Speaks will NEVER speak for me
