Just thought I'd provide my involvement with BY technical support.
Like most of you I had my account upgraded to 4Mb last Friday and noticed a quick download speed. Highly impressed.
However, by Sunday speeds were slow so I thought I'd try 10Mb and upgraded on line and received email to say 48 hours wait.
Speeds were slow so I spoke to BY and they said "too many connections open" after I ran "netstat" so i ran another syware remover but no improvement. Told there was a problem in my area so did nothing else.
Spoke to BY again today and no progress had been made on my 10Mb upgrade so they actioned it on the telephone. Speeds too slow but told ...... you guessed it "problem in my area".
Anyway, email to their forum at 19-44 as read on this forum that my seven year modem can't cope with the new speeds. At 20-25 email back stating that technician coming Saturday.
Their technical guys on the phone are crap but this service is pretty good I think.
Let you know what happens!!
