So far, so good. Migration from ezeeDSL (a...holes) was planned for 26/09 and took place on 26/09.

The line went dead on 26/09/07 but BT fixed it this morning, 27/09. I was able to log on, which suggests the BT engineer who migrated my broadband made a mistake, rectified quickly (pf...).

On first connexion, my download speed was just under 14000 kbps, but the router now indicates the above value. I don't know why the sudden drop. Still, decent speed.
