    Is this better than my average of 238kb/sec? If so, how can I improve it (short of moving house)?

    Get infinity installed Richard. Its about 6 times faster than my old connection & is only £2.60 dearer a month. OK I`ve lost my included 20mb webspace & static IP (not that I need either these days) but it will certainly make backing up the database here a darned sight faster.

    BT Infinity Chris. FTTC (Fibre To The Cabinet) which effectively turns the street cabinet into the exchange & my cabinet is about 200 yards walk away. The cables may take a longer or shorter route but its still better than I had before (8mb broadband but lucky to see half of that). I appreciate that there is a 10 day "Training period" in which the connection will settle on the fastest stable speed but the engineer said that most of his installs have been averaging 30-35mb round this area.

    If you are interested in it, stick your phone number in HERE & they will test the line for the approximate speeds. When I did mine it told me 35.2mb down & 8.2mb up so its pretty accurate in my experience.

    After a cold call yesterday from a PPI clawback firm and another PPI today, :mad: the cold caller from ''pc helponline'' today was the last intrusion. I managed to keep him chatting for 25 mins (ok, its sad i know, but i am unemployed) before he told me to fix it myself and hung up :hgiggle:. I put him on hold for 5 mins also said my pc crashed twice so i had to reboot. Said the battery went flat so then had to search for p-supply which took another 5 mins, also had to search for imaginary glasses in order to see.
    Revenge is Sweeeet. :D :hah:

    I`d love to but as I keep checking to make sure i`m still on the "telephone preferences list", I don`t get any & any call that comes into work with a withheld number (shows up as DID 500 on my phone) just gets ignored.

    Ha, ha, ha! I followed the link RW so thoughtfully included above (thanks v much :thumbsup:) and was informed by BT that I do not have a BT line. I may copy that response and send it to their head office, demanding repayment of my telephone bills since 2002 when we moved in. I have kept them all (sad, I know) and can demonstrate to anyone that BT have been billing me all that time.

    I now wonder what it's like having download and upload speeds at such dizzying speeds. I could probably watch U-Tube and i-Player and all these modern marvels. :unsure:
