(Hint)

It might be helpful if all the 10 MB complaints all went in one thread.It seems like every other thread is a rant about the quality of connection or download or whatever of 10 MB.

problem is when in 1 thread it gets cluttered and lost, I can see the need for different threads if you make a post and within 5 mins its 2 pages deep because of the large number of posters these merged threads get. If the problems are then found to be related then a merge is then good.

Just an FYI - on 10Mb here in SE London and friend on 1Mb also SE (clean setups) - both sites show continuous slow then normal service over last 4-5 days. Called BB support and it seems that this problem is related to the Telewest merger i.e. could be to do with network infra. consolidation. I asked the support person if she thought that it was to do with the merger and she said "How did you know that, sir?" - so they are being very coy about what is going on. When asked, she said that it was specifically to do with network changes and not just proxy cache servers etc. There are also problems in the Bromley area on top of that, which are also network specific - the proxy servers in Bromley are not the best anyway, so use other servers if possible.

Maybe but as so many of these threads are just complaints about the poor connection and speeds I can't see how that is a problem.Frankly sticking together gives you one big voice about the matter.Lots of single threads about 10 to 20 postings does not.Even better why not all use the response link that NTl have set up.That way you may just about grab their attention.

Thats why I updated my problems in a bigger thread then mine to keep it in the same conversation.

I doubt responsetek would have responded in a way acceptable to me I would likely be told its a "up to" service and it would be left at that.

ROFL What a load of complete and utter tripe. The networks won't be converged for a while yet dude, and it certainly shouldn't have any effect on your internet speeds as they'll be converged at a backbone level. That is years away though.

As far as the 'How did you know' part that's equally hilarious. Did she think that ntl / Telewest only tell their staff these things?

Quite agree though, i would sooner have my 3meg back, the 10meg is only 10meg for a short period each day. And then its not stable, mind you atm i'm awaiting another engineers visit.

Now I know why you call yourself Ignition - one spark and the whole lot goes up. Just reporting what I experienced ... you've got a point though.
