What Are You On
 

Well its 2004 broadband is much easier to get whether its cable or ADSL. So I thought a poll on what people are using on here would be good and come in usefull perhaps.

Re: What Are You On
 

ntl cable for me, and dialup when i go home to my parents (which i still pay for! :Yikes: )

EDIT:and adsl at my g/fs which i pay for, but i didn't think i could vote for all three ;)

Re: What Are You On
 

Im on 2mb adsl, supplied by silvermead @ £37.99 a month
Had a few problems with them at the start, but now everything running sweetly, email works, pings to gaming servers average 20-30 ms, download speeds averaging about 230 kilo bytes sec.
Been with them since mid January 2004 hav'nt been out of service yet .

Re: What Are You On
 

Pipex ADSl, slower than my original provider, and rapidly loosing favour within my off net colleagues at work (one this week cancelled within 4 hours of being connected, Pipex had to let him!!!!).

Re: What Are You On
 

NTL cable here at home, and BT ADSL at work.

Both services have been very reliable to me and only had a few problems with both of them.

Re: What Are You On
 

so what issues are there with pipex?

Re: What Are You On
 

Mines slower by approx 20kb/s than my original BT.
One colleague was without connection for an entire month after they somehow connected his adsl account with another BT telephone number (6 months after he'd got the ADSL service), he was offered 6 weeks connection compensation (including the 4 weeks he was disconnected!) He cancelled after his full 12 months with a very graceful letter!
The second colleague was connected, and spent 30 minutes online before he was disconnected. He was informed there was an issue and demanded his money back due to the estimated time of connection and how rude the person was who initially took his complaint call. He's now with Tiscali.

Nildram is the provider of choice at the moment.

That's just from my personal experience, I'd recommend Nildram too.

Re: What Are You On
 

Did they get the usual "it's not a problem on our network" ... I had that, I even sent the pings to www.pipex.com with over 75% packet loss .. they blamed my equipment, I borrowed a known working router and connected via an ethernet cable instead of wirelessly, same problem, they again said it wasn't a problem on their network and asked to repeat speed tests (which showed an average of 200K on a 1 meg connection), they then said "we can't guarantee a connection to a server", I then migrated to Nildram, every single problem disappeared ... funny that.

Re: What Are You On
 

For the first coleague it took them 3 weeks to actually finally investigate the issue as being their issue.

Re: What Are You On
 

29 posts here and only two people post with dialup here. One of those has broadband too. Well upto now thats answered what I thought :D
