JordanKZ Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Getting worse here. Did another speed test when I got home from work. It's now sat at 0.05mpbs. Hi dial up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastditch Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Just tried to report a fault with my SLOOOOOW broadband but when going to the appropriate site it says and I quote We‘re sorry but we are experiencing technical problems with this section of the site.

Muppet Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 http://www.speedtest.net/result/1025304975.png That's what I'm getting in Lerwick nearly next door to the exchange. I should be getting 6mb or so. I tried to download the java applet so I could run the speedtest Marvin recommended a few pages back, but it was downloading at 12kb/sec and had 25 hours to go to download, so I kinda gave up on that one!

Right ... BT now saying they found the fault and fixed it at 1853 Wednesday and have now closed the job. So .. unfortunately, if that has not solved the problem, then we are back at the beginning. But maybe they will be in a more listening mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Don’t worry folks there’s always somebody waar aff dan wis – I wanted to e-mail some documents that were 4mb files to somebody in the Ooter Hebrides so asked if he had broadband.His reply was that in his part of the world broadband is when the postie gets on his pushbike!

Guest CyprusPluto Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Fixed it? I can hardly open anything here (Cunningsburgh exchange). I have a very slow connection at the best of times (just 0.25Mbs) but at the moment it's running at about 8-16Kbs (yes Kbs). I can't even open the speed test to find out. It's very annoying as I even missed the closing date for applying for a job as it can only be done online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Haaf Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Right ... BT now saying they found the fault and fixed it at 1853 Wednesday and have now closed the job.From past experience of BT, what they actually should have said was: "At 1853 our engineer signed of on the job stating that it was fixed, therefor the job is closed. If we subsequently find out in the morning that he actually had to be home at 1900 for his dinner, and told a lie, then this will mean that a new repair order will have to be created. As with all new jobs there is a timescale to be considered, but we will nevertheless deal with this new fault with the greatest of urgency. In the meantime we would like to apologise to any customer who may have been slightly inconvenienced my this minor fault". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavi Ugl Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 This is just a joke I'm actually with the Post Office so should I give them a call or is this in the hands of the line owner BT?. Also, did I not read a post about an expected eta of 06.00 on 10/10/11(Thurs) for getting it all fixed?. Well, I'm off to bed and will see what damoarn brings....

MJ Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 mine keeps jumping all over the place. It kind of explains the the hassle we had with the Till in Lerwick, made me glad I wasn't in a supermarket, but couldn't get any card transactions to go through. 3 different speed tests 408kbps148kbsphttp://www.gtopala.com/siw-tools/speedtest/http://www.speedtest.net/result/1025351674.pnghttp://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/button/128942773835286423243.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Still ultra slow broadband here in Tingwall. Shetlink finally opened after a few mins. . Can't open my email so can't email to report the problem. If no better, will try reporting by phone tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebbidy Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 for over a week now my speed has ranged from as high as 40Kbps down to 15Kbps today. this is a big joke as i would be faster on dial up and i cant seem to do much on the internet as it takes forever to load a page up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
