Personally i cant see what all the fuss is about, you have had it too good for so long.
Let me rephrase that, your upload is/was far better than i was able to achieve as download for over 11 years. Hope you have many more years of suffering now the boots on the other foot.

13 months ago i was told by the first FTTC installer, the worst areas were being done first, his words! Looks like your in a good area you will have to wait.

That's not even his real gripe, its just a derailer. He was originally upset at Openreach seemingly not fibring his cabinet up first thinking he'd been forgotten about but even after finding evidence that proved they are in fact doing his as we speak he continues his anti-BT/Openreach ranting on the news articles. Personally I think he's delusional.

I know that no offence.

A quote from the man himself the Victim or his other name "Empty vessels make the most noise"

this topic is no longer on track should be moved or locked

@creakycopperline, 600KB/s is around 5mb/s or 5000kb/s

if your talking about ISP speeds every one assumes your talking about kbs in your case 5mb for your connection so when your second post stated 512kbs we assumed it was 0.5mb connection when it should be around 5mb or higher (well it is as your speed test shows)

be happy you can get 5mb on your line

windows has always listed speed in KB/s only software that still lists in kb/s is real-player i think (but norm i am uninstalling it, not installing it)

if your going to state your speed in KB/s state it in KB/s as its important saying it that way if kb is in lower case we assume its ISP stated speed (so your isp speed is 5000kbs or better way 5mb)

I can't understand why this thread as gone on for so long, to be honest creakycopperline you seem to have a stable 5mbits line.

And yes your gonna attack me for saying the above but c'est la vie, I'm no BT lover as you would stress far from it their network is being overlaid with fibre in some areas whilst the rest are given less than a thought.

Most people would just be happy to receive a good voice service and decent broadband speeds for their line length.

A lot people's lines could be doing with having some or most of their lines copper (or heaven forbid aluminium) replaced with better gauged copper.

Fibre to the cabinet is not gonna solve the nations woes (still reliant on ageing copper to the cabinet), and for the record areas/communities which have came up with their own solutions will be in better stead.

The bottom line for a private company is ROI.

Do you need to be quite so disgusting in the way you express yourself?

Yet you keep coming back, why not jog on?

I think he possibly has other favourite pastimes, and the word "on" doesn't feature.
