My Broadbands back!

Unread post by towny44 »

To the tune of My Boyfriends back by the Chiffons, altogether now:-

My broadband's back I've rejoined the on-line bubble
(Hey la, hey la, my broadband's back)
My broadband's back and now my speed is double
(Hey la, hey la, my broadband's back).

What a relief after several weeks of gradually increasing outage and lousy speeds I persuaded Sky to send an engineer out, and after replacing a fraying outside line I am now cooking on gas as they say. Speed is now up to nearly 6mb from an available 6.5mb and a previous supposedly available 4mb but quite often below 3mb and occasionally down to 400kbps!!!

This mornings paper has an article that says a good cuppa, a best friend and fast internet access are high on a list of requirements for an enjoyable life, after 4 days with only intermittent access I cannot disagree with this.

John I think I'd add an understanding wife to that list - Pauline must be so pleased you are "up and running" again :sarcasm: Only kidding ;) must have been very frustrating for you not to be on full throttle :moresarcasm: Better stop it now or you won't talk to me again :D :wave:

I'd be delighted if our broadband was more than 1.5mb. :shock:

I got infinity today.... Not noticed much increase in speed, probably 'cos my laptop is ancient.... :crazy:
