There is a guy on the Plusnet forums who rang up because he lost ADSL for 5 minutes.
Takes all sorts
Crazy, I was without broadband for a hour on Saturday and all my video viewing is via broadband. I just read a book instead.
i do not think I would worry about a bit of a drop in speed, not at the speed ADSLMAX have got anyway, if you are getting say only 5 and it drops to 2-3 then that is a different thing.
It seems we want everything as fast as we can, even if we do not use the speed we have got.
