Your Internet Connection!

[btarunr]

I AM CALLING SHENANIGANS

It's actually a 125 Mb/s connection, but bottlenecked due to a 100 Mb/s router which I can't do without. Also comes with a 400 GByte per month FUP limit, beyond which speeds drop to 16 Mb/s.



Other countries:











So what do 'Murican ISP cartels give you for $30 a month?

There are alternative ISP's available, however we are in a transitional period and I am being forced to play a bit of a waiting game.
Fibre cabling is rapidly snaking its' way across the county, the cables are in, the connections are not.

My contract ends in 2 months so i dont want to commit to another until the fibre goes live.

There are some good deals with my current ISP ( Plusnet )and I really shouldnt blame them for the problem as the disruption i think is being caused by the main contractor which for us is BT
( formerly known as British Telecoms) as they are responsible for the actual cabling and they have engineers all over the place (in tents in the rain).

Some of the deals are rubbish or at least seem restrictive. I cant understand why some limit downloads, for example BT put a 20gb limit on one of the deals, i just down loaded GTA V so that would have cost me a lot to install the game. (ordinarily 20gb would be fine but i would have been mighty pissed off if i had an additional bill).

My current ISP has been good, i actually pay very little in comparison to other s in the UK and i did negotiate a substantial discount when i took out the contract. I will be shopping around because i am a bargain hunter and given that these contracts seem to be getting progressively longer i want to be sure I am getting the best deal, even though i may have to commit for maybe 2 years.

Speeds will get better soon, even with a very poor speed you can still send an email, it doesnt need to be fast if you just want to surf, even with the speed i have today i am still streaming from 2 news networks with a ton of web pages open and skyping.

I enjoyed free home broadband with an Orange mobile contract however, somehow they managed to find a hole in the contract to worm their way out of it.
Their parting comment when i moved on was that they had been subsidising my net at a cost to them of £10 month for 5 years (because they had to pay BT)
IN YOUR FACE ORANGE.


We are rural/ remote here too.

@Knoxx29 its loads better today, i tried to u/l a pic the other day when the speed was uber slow ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 58 minutes expected delivery time.....i think i was trying to send it to you actually...remember a cancelled pic when you were supposed to be working ?

Just give a slow and sweet to your ISP

i normally pay £40 (and change) a month for a phone/tv/net package which should be 70 odd but i like to moan at people who can not fulfil their obligations. atm it is costing less than half that as they gave me a £23.50 discount until they fix it. so in effect free internets :lol:

 

[GreiverBlade]

well ... could have been better but nothing to complain about

 

[flmatter]

here's mine from Anchorage, AK

bloody right.


I get SKY TV free so in total I pay close on £19.00 per month for homephone, tv and www ( that doesnt include TV licence though) yep...... UK you need a licence for your TV.

 

[st2000]

but going to small cities or cottages you'll get only 10Mbps for 20$

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

thats dial up speeds on Colombian marching powder

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

I know i'm rocking....................back and fore with frustration.

how is a guy supposed to enjoy a live nasa feed, to watch 2 streaming news websites, surf randomly (and courageously) with many pages open and skype, all with that speed. Ridiculous.

It might be because its way past my bedtime.

 

[dorsetknob]

disconect your dsl line from your modem for 5 min then reconect that may change your up/down connection
My speed sometimes drops like a stone and that is what i need to do sometimes 4 or 5 times till i get a decent (for me) speed

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

disconect your dsl line from your modem for 5 min then reconect that may change your up/down connection

yes i will try that......are you sure it will take a whole 5 minutes, seems like a long time to be without the internet.

 

[dorsetknob]

yes other wise they just might presume its a dropped connection and resume at your current speed

 

[yotano211]

These are my speeds for about $40 a month. This is internet only. I torrent mostly everything I watch.
http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4349243028

The real speeds should read 20mb down 2mb up. But its the middle of the say so everyone is using it.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

disconnected the BT line into the house, went and cleaned the bath, plugged it back in

Before

After

exactly double d/l speed ....well who would have thunk it.


Could it be my router? It is only 10 mths old, it came from the ISP.
