Good luck to you and the OP, but that's three weeks in a row I've been having these issues, and I'm really beginning to think LLU has to be worth a try.

I was on LLU BB from 2005/6 (cant quite remember) to April of this year (Bulldog then Be*) and only left to get FTTC. If Be* were offering FTTC then I would have stayed with them. Both Bulldog and Be* were adsl2+.

From what I have read on these forums I am thankful to have missed out on BTs adslmax and its agressive line management.

off the top of my head I can't think of anything in this country that has improved this century.

The Labour party got rid of Blair, Gordon Brown was dumped out of Office, the new Mondeo is better than the old Mondeo, Zen increased my bandwidth from 1gb to 10gb. I can find more if you want them.

How's life under the tin-foil hat?

So the new government raised tuition fees 3x, caused a few riots and Camilla got poked with a stick, thats progress?

Mondeos are made in poland or somewhere coz if they were made in england they would get slower and slower and the on board computer would blame the petrol.

You'll have to try harder than that...

No where near as good as my faraday cage.

They started putting several processors on one chip, computer memory speeds increased enormously, hard drives got bigger than at once seemed possible, quality flat screen monitors became two a penny, my kids eventually decided to present me with grandchildren ( if I had known that they were such fun I would have had them first), forums like this one became commonplace and allowed all sorts of ill informed complaints to be published, oh yes and did I mention that zen increased my bandwidth from 1gb a month to 10gb a month and did not increase the charge.

Just one little detail, all that stuff is made in china, america and japan, apart from your grandkids of course.

So the only improvement in this country in this new century is your broadband usage and peoples ability post their broadband problems online and, maybe next century the company's will read them, but not this one.

You are changing the rules, you did not demand improvements that were just made and used in the Uk to start with. As to your last comment you might think that I could not possibly comment as the evidence goes against you since I can see a considerable number of replies from zen employees to your messages on this and other threads.

So, that just means you can't think of anything?

zen and their klingons are trying to keep me quiet, and thats how I can tell I hit a nerve because of the questionable amount of attention that post attracted, and I see more threads about poor speed.

I've had no warnings from any mods, so this site very much seems to be independent.

Just look at your speed tests they don't lie.

The Jedburgh exchange is supposed to be getting upgraded late next year ( what a long time to wait ) - If the download speeds stay like they are during peak times then i might well leave Zen, i'm still unconvinced about what they say regarding speed capping, i have to give them some benefit of the doubt but like i say i am not totally convinced about this.

Having a website, which you can see in my profile, is one reason to stay with Zen as uploads do not count towards your bandwidth but i am also seeing other people writing about download speeds and no congestion showing up on the BT end, something doesn't seem right about all this and frankly i am not the trusting sort of person, i tend to take everything officialdom says with a pinch of salt.

Hopefully things improve, they have a year and a half to get better before i can possibly look at alternatives, until then i will watch this forum with interest and see if any others are suffering from these issues, i'm not blaming Zen just yet but at the same time it's also very easy to shift the blame onto BT.
