BT at it again
Has anyone noticed an interruption to BT's Broadband service over the weekend?
I am having problems staying logged on for more than a couple of minutes and when I am logged on the service runs a slow as treacle on a cold day. Times online edition and the Guardian are particularly slow. I've checked the service status but there are no reported faults for the Hyndburn/Gt. Harwood area. Ideas anyone????????????

Re: BT at it again
I constantly have problems but that is just BT in my area. We pay for 8mb but the line is only capeable of 512k...and its unreliable at that. Say with any ISP though. Shame really, hope BT upgrade the line soon.

Re: BT at it again
I am on Orange via BT and I remember getting mail last week from Orange to say BT were upgrading lines which might mean interruption of internet access for a few hours soon but will result in faster access after.

Re: BT at it again
I like that, Orange inform their customers that BT is doing work. BT can't be arsed to tell it's own customers.
Thats a good enough reason not to use BT. There are other reasons IMHO.

Re: BT at it again
I max out at 6 meg but then they have done upgrades to the lines. They say that the closer to the exchange the better but my mate is a few hundred yards away and only gets about 2.5 meg. I have no problems with the service but I think it sometimes comes down to the area. The only thing BT send out mails for is bills.
