Its a shame that you dont live in London Clive, you get get 1mb BB and TV for an introductory offer of £17-95 normally £35, or 2mb for £50

2Mb???  Steady on Sandra .....it will be a long time before BT rolls that out.

[Clive]

I've been told subject to tests, I should be upgraded within 7 days.  Zoom zoom zoom....

12 days later....

I've just sent them an e-mail to remind them I still exist.  Good to know BT are still as efficient as ever.

[Clive]

I've had a reply to say that today's the day.  Stand by for liftoff.  Yeah right!  

[Clive]

I think I've got it!  According to

http://specials.zdnet.co.uk/misc/band-test/speedtest50.html

Your line speed:

1236.4 Kbps

151.5 K bytes/sec

That seems to be faster than they promised so no doubt they will cut that back when they find out.

You're not going to gloat about this are you, Clive?  

[Clive]

Moi?  

Sadly, the euphoria didn't last long as the latest test shows an enormous drop in speed:


848.2 Kbps

104 K bytes/sec

Long live BT.

[Clive]

Getting lower by the second!

Your line speed:

667.8 Kbps

81.8 K bytes/sec

Youve probably reached your monthly download limit now Clive so they capped it

Your line speed:

1533.8 Kbps

1.5 mb beats 1 mb.

This morning is very different and the thermometer is off the chart.  This is what I call a connection!

Your line speed:

4080 Kbps

500 K bytes/sec

Bet you didn't get that the next time clive  
Have you tried tweaking it to try and get a bit more out of it?
Try here:-

Follow the prompts. Afterwards you will probably have to download DR.TCP, again follow prompts.

It's fairly straightforward. Must be, I managed it AND it WORKED

[Clive]

It's 925 at the moment but varies quite a lot.  Thanks for the tweak Barra!
