Yeah they don't take the payment they just add it on to your next bill as it is I guess more efficient. I guess it also helps make the books look better for them too hehe.

Is the 'upgrade your broadband' page working for anybody else? Trying to upgrade to 50mb but the link just times out, has been like this for two days

I dont want to ring CS as I want the self-installation package which they will not offer.

There is no self-install option for 50 meg. You'll have to ring them.

ps. Welcome to the forum!

I wouldn't advise anyone to upgrade to 50 meg, had mine for around 12 days and the speeds are crap now, there is no over subscribing here i had a constant 20 meg for 19 months before this, its the fluctuating speeds that get on my nerves with it.

One minute it can be flying at 6mb/s then its down to 2mb/s at best for ages, i phone up there tech part and they say try the blue yonder demo site blah blah i try it and the speeds are crap, they say they have done something and then 30 mins later the speeds are gone.

My advice if you have a good connection DON'T rush and upgrade your service because 50mb is pants for usenet, using Astraweb is giving me speeds of 2800kbs, i just signed up to giganews free trial to see and hitting around 3900kbs( so giganews certainly faster out of the 2).

As a guide i just downloaded from the internet at 5900kbs doing a test file of 900meg, switch back to usenet and both providers only offering me the speeds i posted above so it certainly looks to me they are doing things to usenet.

well i dont use newsgroups, so here's to hoping I get on with 50mbit

I have had the 50meg for a fortnight now and so far no problems also is your pc up to spec that sometimes causes problems also. heavy downloading all in one go perhaps your pc cant cope with all the work its got to do..
