XD, I'm on Talk Talk and get about 10 - 12mb, which is about the max for my area's shitty exchange anyway. I would honestly say BT is the worst ISP I've ever had, with Sky coming in at a close second. Talk Talk isn't all that bad, you need to make a phonecall if your speeds are that low, Marn.

The majority of internet users don't pay for or need high speed internet. As such it just isn't a priority here to have high speed internet at affordable prices, or ensure you get the speed you pay for constantly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 350 Report post Posted July 18, 2012 It's true, anything over 10 mb/s would be considered good here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I pay for 30mb, get 30mb, and that's basic service here. Basic service here for years after broadbands inception was still Dial up and ADSL connections (notoriously shitty here). That and we only have 3 major ISP's (to my mind at the moment) that reliably deliver internet. Virgin, BE and BT. Sky are pretty hit and miss. TalkTalk as you saw are complete shite. I don't even want to think about what rural internet penetration is like but it sure as shit is not a priority for ISP's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Marney-1 Report post Posted July 18, 2012 I don't think any ISP's guarantee a minimum or maximum speed here, TalkTalk just say "Fast and reliable broadband, we'll give you the fastest speeds your line can handle." - Strange that my line could 'handle' around 4 Mb/s before I switched to you bastards who are now giving me 0.30 Mb/s. The missus called them the other day to ask them to look into the problem, mentioning to the Indian helper who couldn't speak English that we couldn't even watch a YouTube video or movie on the PS3. Punjab Dave's reply was to "Call Sony about that." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edgecrusher 91 Report post Posted July 18, 2012 I think, as a whole, they're all pretty shite. I just switch providers when one becomes unreliable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TalkTalk talk as much shit as they can to keep you subscribed to them until you finally realize they aren't going to do anything about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gtagrl 4317 Report post Posted July 19, 2012 Dealing with Rogers customer service has shortened my lifespan. And I'm getting bent over a barrel every month as far as prices go. But my only other option is Bell Aliant, which would be slower, and I live in too rural an area so fibreop is not an option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted July 19, 2012 I think our major problem in the UK is that we all started on copper wire, literally. And over time we've been getting slow replacements with fiber optics across the country. The only reason i can think of for them to take so long about it though, is purely profit. Internet and phone providers wont make the big move unless another company is willing to do it first, just to maximize profit. Then you have developing countries across Europe which are being built up, and top of the range lines are being put in place whilst not replacing post-world war 2 phone lines at the same time. That'd be my guess anyway... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
