INTERNET SPEED FRUSTRATION

Paying for 3Meg - getting less than half a meg - would be quicker on dial up.....It really is a joke - and everytime it rains the internet cuts out - anyonew else with this problem in the UK on BT lines ??? - I feel a petition coming on.

BT have always said there is nothing wrong with our line - but they would....our internet is with Sky, so they simply say they cannot help anymore if we're not with them.........but they'll happliy send out an engineer to check at a cost of £130....of course by the time he'll arrive the rain will have gone, the faulty underground joint will have dried out and BINGO the internet will be back on line....... I'm not a conspiracy theory sort of fella.....but.......??

And 5 minutes later.....

BTW, no one else on our wireless network, and the only programme I've got running is this one posting this blog, ccleaner and defrag just run, and internet security maximised for speed - so all traffic minimised (even background programmes turned off or hiberanted).....sooooo frustrating !!!
