Keep Your Fingers Crossed

After living in this house for nearly three years the broadband/phone people think they have finally found out why our Internet runs so depressingly slowly (0.4 thingies) and it should be fixed in the next 48 hours.

Sorry to say it, but 1.76 is still poor; although it might be considered good for Sky, which averages 2.2 in my area. I am therefore on a winner with approximately 14 from BT. ( Highest has been 14.8 )

I take the view that 5 is reasonable and anything over and above is a real bonus. You can check what other folk are likely to be getting in your area from a test on the following site.:-

Alston, if we do a speed check, the highest around here is 4 thingies. We are in a bit of a good Internet black hole.
