NW1 Camden Town (North London) 2 Mbps (actual speeds 200 to 300 Kbps)
had enough of this CRAP !!!!!!!
I've just booked myself a Netgear 54 Mbps wireless with integrated adsl modem on
www.PCWorld.co.uk at £60 instead of £80 as Collect @ Store Web Exclusive. I'll go collect in the morning.
As soon as i've got the router, i'll go online and order a bulldog (Cable & Wireless) unlimited with no download/upload volume restrictions. £19.50/month. they only do 1 'speed', 8 Mbps. they also FORCE you to take a landline at £10.50 a month, and if you're Cable they WON'T let you keep your number ! but once i'm a customer, i'll ask Ofcom what they think, as BT (too expensive, and download/upload volumes capped right accross their packages) WILL let you keep your number (and bulldog and bt use the same wires and same system, so !!!!)
anyway, i'll also speak to telewest customer relations and try getting a full refund for period since November. That should help towards the cost of the router.
and in (i hope) the unlikely event of bulldog in my area being CRAP straight off, i'll tell'em to **** OFF and give me my money back (and i'll just stay with Telewest).
also, there's only a 6-month minimum contract with bulldog, so if their network starts being crap, i'll simply switch back to Blueyonder (and maybe, by hope, that they'll have got some kind of act together)...
anyway, good luck to those staying !!!!
