I see. well the line isnt stable really. When i try to ping servers they just wont respond, I wait a minute or so and try again and it will work or it wont. I was with sky to begin with they had me at 4.5mbit but the line was still dropping not as frequent as now though. I phoned them up again to have a moan and they put my upstream speed up to 800kbps did make an improvment but i had already given my mac code to BT. I changed over to BT thinking ok they know their own lines. I phoned them once i had it having a go saying the line still isnt stable but they say oh no fault on the line. Right now im in the middle of getting changed over to bethere broadband hoping they might come up with something to speed up the line. I lose connections to servers after i've joined them after like a minute or so but i think thats problems with the steam servers. I suppose i could get Bethere to flip me over to Fastpath. BE is getting turned on tommorow. I was thinkiung that it could be BT being cocks since i've switched over. I had to pay BT 300 pound cancellation charge and i still have to pay up the rest of the contract as well plus the be there one that im now into as well. It is skinning me all this Broadband stuff and i dont want to have to pay BT another 200 pound if no fault is found although there is a hell of a lot of noise on the line. I may try and put an adsl filter thing you know from adsl nation so that you dont need microfilters. Im using the Home hub 1.5 at the moment but i know they are crap. If i do try and go fastpath wont that fook up the line even more? with passing all the errors threw to the modem. Jeez i dont know...Is it worth phoning BT and having them out for a line fault Iknow to tell them that it is a voice fault not a broadband line fault because then they tell you that it is your ewnd that is at fault. My sister had the worse connection from BT for 6 years she argued about her line dropping when the weather got bad. Ended up just outside her house it was a BT Cable that was old and severed and split when the winds picked up... If it takes them 6 years to fix the line it isnt worth the hassle im moving in like 3 years to a bigger house soo either i keep going to get the line at its optimum performance or just give up and deal with constant dropouts which to be honest dont think i can. If i had a stable connection with 4500kbps and an upload of 800kbps then why did BT put my line down super slow?
