We have phone VM many times and I think a total of 4 engineers have been to our house all having different stories each time (oh your signal is too low, let me boost it for you....Oh Derby will undergo maintenance soon....and even one guy saying that pings like this were acceptable and that a ping to my router of <1ms meant that my router was broken?!?!? IDIOT!!!!) Well the last thing we heard was that they would drop our price down to the 2mbit until the beginning of march as they were doing network upgrades in Derby in February but he said that it was only penciled in... Well now its mid march nothing has been done.... and I really dont want to phone up for a 6th time!
There is truth in what the engineer's are saying, through human sources off this forum, derby is getting a full work over which should improve everything.

I have been told this is happening in the first 2 weeks in April.

Fingers Crossed!
