Aye. Same here.
I was upgraded to 4mb from 2mb last week. Great download speeds to begin with, now lucky to get 300KB/sec and every site I uses either takes an age to load or simply times out. I musta tried every poxy proxy on the list.
Broadband & TV services screech to a halt about half a dozen times a day for varying lengths of time. I've given up relying on a connection for anything.
Whilst I was looking forward to the speed upgrade, I secretly dreaded it - I just knew this was gonna happen.
Not gonna bother ringing CS - last time some snotty ar$e told me unless I'd had an outage of over 3 days, it wasn't considered urgent.
If I didn't absolutely dread the nightmare of switching TV/Phone & Internet providers, I'd be gone like a shot. Hopefully one day soon I'll get the spare time to switch elsewhere. Not fussed about prices - just want a package that works.
