Talk Talk Broadbean

Talk Talk Broadbean

anyone else with these useless fuckers, ive had them since 8 oclock this morning and even though its "free" broadband its fucking shite. im menna be on 8mb connection but im getting the speeds youd get off a 1.5/2mb connection and these are webpage downloads not bit torrent.

ive heard nowt but bad press from them anyway. gonna give them 1 month to sort their shit out, if i see no improvement theyre getting dropped

'Free' 8 meg :rofl:

All the companies are doing it now, talk talk, orange and even sky.

If you want a good internet service you have to pay for it

i was on plusnet, they were doing upgrades and i was due before september for their 8mb. ill be going back if this shit doesnt pick up

Have you enquired as to how far away from your local BT exchange you are?

Cause if you're miles away no company will be able to offer you big speeds like that

lol i know where it is, its along the harbour. its about 600 metres from my house

Whats your download speeds like during the mornings? Say from about 8am-12pm?

Thats about as off peak as it'll get, best time to measure your true speed with ADSL

not too good tbh, kicking around the 200kbps area, these are downloads off webservers. ive tested it on adslguide.org and it was the same as a 2mb line. im not settling for their shit either cos i know im close as fuck to the exchange and their initial tests said id get atleast 6.5mbps

You have been on a connection for 4 hours.

It can take 48 hours to fully stabalise. Sometimes even up to a week.

It's still using a BT line at the end of the day...

dont be so quick to blame your ISP!

And its free so i cant believe you have the audacity to comlain

like i said im giving them a month, but its been a shit start, everything so far has been crap, espesh setting up personal space and trying to connect to it with ftp software. ive heard nowt but bad press.

that stabalisation times normally bollocks. my mate gow got connected with BT 8mb after being with pipex and he was downlaoding stuff 3 times as fast as me and he lives further away from the exchange.

cable broadband is the way forward.I used to get shit hot speeds on ntls 10 meg broadband.I cant get cable at my new house though so im stuck with plus.net which is supposed to be 8 mb but i get 3 mb

The giveaway with talk talk being shite would be the word "free".You get nowt for nowt

mine seems alright like - i keep getting dissconnected alot tho seems to happen when im downloading stuff still free fone calls and then broadband for wotever it is aint too bad.

That would piss me off

can you get the internet through broad beans now? might have to start growing them like

think ya self lucky. my average download speed is 5kbs wtf

and im connected at 2.3mpbs



dunno wots wrong

i have telewest and it rocks

broadbean = broadband

I see what you did there

nee word of a lie, me stepdads mam whos about 60 odd year old thought broadband was called armband wtf, i was creased when she said "peter, will you ring up bt for me to get that armband put on"

she must be on something surely

Indeed, look at the download speeds i get quite often:

1.1meg per second
