I'm by no means a heavy net user, the 2 Mbps service does me just fine, and using the speed test link here, that's just about what i've always had.
For the past few days though, it's been around 0.4 Mbps consistently (just tested again).
STM? Probably. Another nail? Certainly.
If they can't afford to provide the service I pay for, they should put the price up and I will decide to stay or not.
And on top of this, they are chumming up with phorm. 
It's only the thought of paying BT for a line that has stopped me binning VM months ago. |
With each speed increase, the average speed at the busiest times of the day seem to go down. When I was on 2M and 3M or maybe it was 4M was the top speed you could pay for at the time, I got 2M 24/7. When the top speed leaped to 10M the fluctuations began and my speed immediately dropped to under 1M at busy times of the day even though mine had supposedly gone up to 4M at the same time. Phorm would introduce even greater performance hits as more and more lost packets of data are bounced around the system.

Great news, Steve Gibson has a huge following and the publicity would be good.
