Re: Sky Connect Broadband - Are you being slowed down?
When he has O2 on his exchange?Think about Newnet or IDNet as your ISP
IANTE
You have proved time and again that you have a good connection, due probably to a quiet exchange, or some other reason. Others don't.

Re: Sky Connect Broadband - Are you being slowed down?
exactly, so it's NOT useless for everyone...just grossly over-subscribed/under capacity...

Re: Sky Connect Broadband - Are you being slowed down?
not at all, but to write off 'Connect as useless for all' is a false statement...
should you all be able to tell people to leave without giving it a chance? fair enough if it's a old, ongoing issue but to some Connect may serve the purpose required and leaving it's an unneccessary hassle...-------------------------------------------

Re: Sky Connect Broadband - Are you being slowed down?
I advised a member who is being throttled down to under half a Mb to leave. Do you really think he should stay in the hope that it will improve? I think it is significant, that apart from yourself, I have not seen one member express satisfaction with Connect.

Re: Sky Connect Broadband - Are you being slowed down?
no, and tbh i don't aim my answers at you...it's at another person who has since left and is hell bent on getting everyone else to just cause they had a bad experience...
as for not seeing anyone happy - why would you? people who are happy don't complain do they??
anyway, you have seen one - me!!-------------------------------------------

Re: Sky Connect Broadband - Are you being slowed down?
chances are as they've no need to complain they've not sought advice - hence not coming here...I would never have known if I'd not been told about the site from colleagues...
