It is all crap. When we built our offices we had the broadband connected up. A blistering 1.5 Meg (Shakes head...) We had loads of problems with it so got BT out to look at it. They are contracted to provide 0.5 Meg. As long as you get that, then you are getting the service that they are bound to offer. If it drops below 0.5 Meg then they are obliged to sort it out. Hi Darling, I'll be home in 10 mins. If I'm not back, please read this message again...

Yeah as long as you don't mind speaking to a thousand different people/departments in a dozen countries and explaining your problem from scratch each time

When i went to BT originally I was getting 3mbps

when they connected me i got 0.5mbps

After an hour long conversation with a call centre who sounded like he was still eating his chicken korma whilst on the phone and been called "Mr Nick" 30 times... I eventually got a UK call centre who could understand what the problem was and 2 days later 3mbps connection came along
