DizzyKipper Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I have an 80Gb allowance and I'm not even using half of it, and BT faults permitting, a stable 5-6Mb connection. I'd like to see the data I have sent them two questions. Firstly, it doesn't run any tests when the download capacity is reached. When gaming less bandwidth is used - if it runs test then will it affect my ping? Secondly, it wants major ISPs, Plusnet isn't listed but it IS owned by BT now, so I asked if that was acceptable. Fingers crossed! ---------- A reply already! Thanks for your email and questions. We have tested the devices extensively on lines in the UK and USA, and we do not run tests when gaming. I'm a gamer myself, and the SamKnows Whitebox has not caused any issues. With regards to ISP, please select Other, and proceed from there. Many thanks,Neil ------- I'm signing up!

esseff Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Now what the &@%$'s going on? A quick burst of 4 mb this evening and now broadband is so slow that Speedtest won't even start; it's been 'loading' for almost fifteen minutes.Who needs comedians when we've got BTinternet...

Mag Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Anybody else having problems in the Tingwall area today? Our broadband has been going on and off like disco lights, and when it's on it's so slow it's taking minutes to upload a 64kb doc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairyian Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Anybody else having problems in the Tingwall area today.

Is this a problem with your router staying connected to the xchange, or staying connected to your ISP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuckleJoannie Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Up to 20 megabits for Lerwick http://www.shetnews.co.uk/news/newsbites/2940-up-to-20-megabits-for-lerwick.html ALMOST 5,000 homes and businesses in Lerwick will have access to faster broadband by next summer, as part of the latest roll-out of BT’s next generation broadband service delivered over copper lines. The investment makes available broadband speeds of up to 20 megabits per second (Mbps) – more than double the maximum speeds previously available to the majority of UK homes and businesses. When will the rest of us benefit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOYAANISQATSI Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 If we could just get something faster than the dial up speed we seem to have been reduced to up north for over a month now, it would be something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuckleJoannie Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I think it is BT once again realising that they are in danger of missing a trick if they don't act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
