Well things have moved on slightly for me. Tomorrow morning at 8am I've got a BT engineer coming out to my house. There's obviously a problem here and not only that, it couldn't be solved remotely and requires a visit. Broadband speed is still wobbling about all over the place. I've been up to 1.5MB and now I'm firmly anchored at 512K.

I'm hopeful about the visit tomorrow. If need be I'll handcuff the engineer to the kitchen table until he sorts it.

My previous 2MB connection was very stable, but I thought even if I only get a 3mb connection with this 8MB service it'll be an improvement on that. Also it's cheaper ... I was paying £24 a month before ... now I'm paying £19 but I wouldn't have done it had I known all the crap I was going to get.

The highest speed I've ever seen on my line is 4.5MB but that was during the stablilisation period and I have no idea how stable it was.

I'll keep you posted and don't give up.

Bestest, YC
