We decided to opt for the BT broadband next month.
After an initial online enquiry we received this summary:
"Our initial test on your line indicates that you may be able to
have BT Broadband with download speeds up to 512Kbps,
which is up to 10 times faster than dial-up. At the moment,
your telephone line is unable to sup****t our 2Mb speed
broadband package. Also, due to the length of your line,
an engineer visit may be required to set up your broadband
service."
We knew about the speed limit after making enquiries with
Pipex but didn't see any point in paying so much per month
for such a reduced service (and of course Pipex just blamed BT).
Well we don't think that we should pay BT's full monthly charge
(and if we use them they can't pass the buck). Ok, so we live in
the sticks but we can't get a full service because _their_ equipment
can't cope and it seems to me that whatever problems we might
have with any other ISP, they are also going to blame BT.
Has anyone experienced the same problem and if so have you
managed to reduce the BT monthly broadband supply price?
Cheers. Lisa
