Thanks for that Andy: Hopefully most of my Neighbours did go with VM as it will give me a better chance of getting decent speeds :)
Next time I'm up I'll give the test connection a go I have also raised a call with Be. I think the wiring in the house could be an issue. I have 4 Extensions of the main BT socket these are wired through the attic and down into the rest of the house. Looks like I'm gonna be having some fun finding out what's going on !!

Could the Exchange be Maxxed out? http://tinyurl.com/yf2g7fc Unfortunately it seems most of your neighbours went with VM. But of the BT line based tests around the area they do seem quite slow. Standard advice applies, remove everything from the line (even filters), plug router into master socket (if it's a new style then try the 'test socket' behind the lower half of the faceplate, too). Check for excessive errors in your router diagnostics. I assume you are using an ADSL2+ capable modem/router? You're actually pretty damn close to the exchange (http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/EMPETER) but who knows where BT's wire to you travels. Judging by your 'estimated' speeds it would, however, suggest you should be getting better speeds. If all the above fails to help, talk to Be. -- Best regards, Andy _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list Peterboro@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Introducing Branchr Super Simple Advertising http://click.lavabit.com/?pub=78&ad=0023&url=aHR0cDovL2JyYW5jaHIuY29tLw== ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list Peterboro@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
