and on a 2 mb,thats what i call a rip off
just wanted to let the world know that i am pissed,..big style

But 300kb/s is a good speed for 2meg.
How long ago did you sign up? sometimes it can take a few days to 'configure' itself and get running smoothly - mine did

No, but a friend of mine is and has had no probs. Do you mean the communication speeds or the download speed?
Do you mean 300kbps?
Because 300kb/s is download speed

Well that's an improvement - give it 2-3 days. Trust me. Mine was cutting out, doing 4kb/s when i first switched to AOL. But after it sorted itself out, it was kool. Give it time Hursty ;)

yeah man,the speeds do improve,like first thing in the morning,came in at about 900,but come the evening,the speeds are like so slow
you can expect some sort of slow down,whe the lines are busy,but not to this extent
those b*****s are throttling the bandwidth,its just proving it
watch this space,see if things improve
thanks for the link :)

its not my fault,you have a poxy connection

you are paying for what you have and you cannot expect anymore.
and btw its not my fault you are a bastard child,just because i have 2 parents,what phucking difference that makes,i beg to ask???
wtf has having 2 parents bringing you up got to do with anything,least at all this thread,and most of all,wtf has it got to do with you??
dont start with the smart ass remarks,take your crap somewhere else.
end of,
next time i will post hundreds of pictures in this thread,so it will take you 3 weeks to reply,after you have finished downloading the images

LOL. Anyway I wish BT would upgrade the telephone system in this country (England) so we could get better speeds. In Japan and South Korea a 2 Meg connection to them is like a 56 K connection to us. Bog standard. Bulldog advertise an 8 Meg service but it only reaches that speed in London.

the service sucks in this country,
i was happy to plod away with wanadoo,but they were about to kick me off for downing 100 gb a month on a 2 gb limit
hehehe
just been waiting on hold for 1 1/2 hrs for technical support with uk-online,the message says,10 mins max
what year is this????
1956???,you would have thought so,with this service,some old guy pluggin in the connection pin....
same old rip off britain
high speeds are mainly available in the inner parts of london,and uk-online have the cheek to advertise 22 mb speed
no one is offering true unlimited downloads with the true connection they offer
ntl/bt/tiscali/wanadoo....the list goes on....all the same limited downloading

I am on AOL and I get unltd dloads. But I only live 5 miles away from London and the max I can get here is 1.1 meg, but I suppose the closer you are to London, the sooner they will upgrade your connections.

That's so true hursty. The phone line's in this country are from like the 40's. We need our telephone system to be underground so we can acheive cable speeds like Japan and South Korea. I always read the small print on broadband offers as there's always a catch somewhere.

Heh...
O.K, so your speeds aren't great. Just because somebody else can get better speeds, doesn't mean you have to start moaning about yours. Hursty has a problem which we are trying to put positive input into. If all you are going to do is whine that you have bad speeds, do it on the phone to your ISP

Why don't you look into satellite broadband. It might be ideal for you if your telephone system can't cope with broadband.

@ xboxdevil
you are totally missing the point of this thread,
like i said,i am paying for a service from which i am not happy with,
i have every right to complain as i am not getting the speeds for which i am paying good money for
if i go into mac'donalds,and ask for a plain big mac with no sauce etc,and i get one with gerkins covered with tomato sauce,.....what i am supposed to do....???
be happy with the food i have been given,after all,there are starving people in africa with nothing???,so i should be grateful and eat it,even though i dont like it
what would you do???,i bet your ass you would take it back and ask for a replacement or your money back
i know what i would do,i work damn hard for the money in my pocket,and expect good value for what i pay for
let this be the end of it

if i got a mcdonalds burger with sauce when i asked for one without sauce i would take it back and get what i order.money doesnt come easy.if i had order 10000 burgers and one of them had sauce when i ordered no sauce i wouldnt care.if i had enough money to get satellite broadband or cable i wouldnt complain if it wasnt as fast as everyone elses in the world.i'd just be happy that i've got a fast connection and that i could afford it.do you pay for everything you download or are you downloading pirated material.you can still get movies,mp3s,pictures ,games,software for free so dont complain.i didnt even have a computer until march lastyear.

It sucks for you that you are unable to get a fast connection but don't try to make other users feel bad because they can enjoy a service you can't. This thread is about Hursty who signed up for an internet service and he isn't getting what he paid for. He has every right to complain. Other people in the same situation would do the same thing.

@Lethal_B weazel200
just signed up for a months trial on newsgroups,cost me £7
got maximum speeds now,even though its costing me more,but happy
@xboxdevil,
what i do with my bandwidth has got bugger all to do you with you,i am grateful for what i have got,and bad luck you probably havent had the same privledges as me,but thats not my fault,so dont take your anger and resentments on others who are more fortunate than yourself
i dont know why you starting having a go in the first place,as i am perfectly in my rights to complain
if this carries on,i will report this to the mods myself,and get it closed
