What is it with BT?
Why dont they get off their arses and LLU enable exchanges out here in the sticks?
Newry was been enabled since 2008! Granted its a town but for f**k sake 2011 maybe 2012 is when we are due to be switched on!
Sick of having to deal with lagging issues when gaming online and surfing the net is way to slow even though am on broadband... 384kbps upload 2meg download, crap, and paying 18 quid a month for this sh*te....

My folks are with eircom in the sticks in Eire and they're paying a fortune for 1mb but speed test shows it's really only 0.1mb which I doubt even qualifies as broadband. You should look into getting satellite broadband. The installation is very pricey but you'll get a decent speed.

There are still a lot of places with DSL that slow (my grandparents live in a community that does not even have DSL or 3G...their only option for internet is dial-up).

Personaly, I can get 40mbps download, but only like 2mbps upload, and I think that is bad.

Heck i guess i am lucky. At home the basic package from my cable co is 1Mb Up and 15 Mb down. With options up to 5 up and 50 down. Now at work i can get dedicated fibre. This is rural North Dakota. Lucky me.
