Having to spend yet another hour on the phone to my ISP


Despite sending me their "very latest" wireless router


I'm still experiencing severe "outages" and intermittent connection to the internet


This has been going on since November last year


I now have to wait in Friday afternoon for an engineer


I know he won't find anything wrong with my equipment or the phone line


Will they finally admit that their service is not "fit for purpose"


Highly unlikely, I see yet another "discount" being offered as "compensation"


All I want is a reliable service, is that too much to ask in 2013

It's not a "browser" issue Suz, neither IE or Chrome is working


It's the "Internet Service Provider" that I'm having trouble with


T***T*** just aren't doing what they are contracted to do


They are trying to charge me for a service which they patently "cannot" provide


We shall see what excuse they come up with on Friday

Emzed,

Get the Trading Standards people involved.

If the company has told you / telling you that they can provide a service quoted at a rate (bit rate downloading) in writing, but can't actually provide what they say, to me that says that they have 'mis-sold/mis-lead' you a product/service and automatically broken their side of the contract.

You'll probably find in the 'small print' somewhere it states that they have legally a time-frame in which to either correct, fix, or re-compensate you should they not be able to provide the service in which contract states.
And since it's been going on since Nov, sounds to me that the time-limit is UP!

Thanks Neo

Still no broadband today

I'm having to use my dongle & tablet for this

Good job I have this as backup

Or I'd be offline altogether and out of touch completely

Emzed I had a similar problem with Virgin Media it went on for months. Worked for a week or so intermittently but then go down after endless call visits resulting in them replacing the router and changing almost everything that belonged to them, discount after discount I happened to get answered on day by a really switched on young lady who then told me the truth. The box I was connected to in the road was over subscribed and another box was to be allocated in the following 2 months. Obviously I was really pissed off but didnt have much of an option but to wait it out. I did and now everything is working fine with no problems. Ended up with 6 months free and free upgrade to 60gb though it rarely goes above 50 at peak. I just wish someone had been honest from the start. Good luck buddy

Thanks for your invaluable input IG

It has been my suspicion all along that "oversubscription" is the issue

Getting someone to actually admit it however is highly unlikely

Living in a rural location I don't expect "superfast" broadband

I do expect a "continuous" reliable service though

Unfortunately the exchange serves several large villages & BT are dragging their corporate heels with the "unbundling" of it

Which effectively disenfranchises any none BT customers

My ISP obviously are at BT's mercy with allocation of bandwidth
