I had a long frustrating chat with tech support about the Ware area. The 512 service would often crawl at between 40- 60 kbs. They intially denied any problem at their end but I mentioned that a lot of the ware guys were discussing the ubr. They then agreed that contention ratios in ware were close to saturation but that they were upgrading the system mid feb. Well Mid feb came and went and we are still getting poor download speeds from 4:30 pm onwards and it is almost impossible to use the web on the weekends. I don't believe anything they say now as a lot of it is simply to fob us off. However , I wonder if the grass is any greener.....?
