They have said that I may only be able to get a good speed by going to 8MB but this will take 2 weeks and I will have to put up with the speed until then!!!
I am fuming!!!! Grrrrrrrr!!!
I am thinking of chaning to a UK based outfit!!Comment

Force9 (now Plusnet.... (now BT) )
Been with them years, very good service, very few outages.
Bit of a hiccup with email a while ago but all sorted now.Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do" in a gloomy manner to Pooh.
"And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
Eeyore shook his head from side to side. "Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to felt at all how for a long time."Comment

I am still fuming about their customer support but the problem now seems to be rectified.
I sent a couple of emails complaining and also managed to speak to someone in the UK by phoning their head office in the UK. Whatever, it seemed to put the wind up their techies and I seemed to get non-stop attention and only spoke to guys in Bombay that could speak excellent English!
The problem was not the ISP after all - it was my modem!! The ISP arranged for BT to come out to check the line. When the engineer visited, he was a good guy and did way more to help then he should have!! We came to the conclusion that the line was fine and the router ws slow in processing any traffic (despite me having carried out a firmware upgrade). I changed the router to a newer fatser one (Belkin to Netgear) and voila - full speed restored. I now get 1.9M on a 2M line.
In fairness, once the ISP found out it was the router they sent a new one in the post (FOC) but I will keep that as a spare. I just wish they had handled it like that from the start without all this hassle! I will stick with them for now but if i get another problem I will change straight away so thanks for the tips.Comment
