That £130 discount is because you have taken their broadband. £100 is normal as per my post just now.

However, apart from Be, BT may be your best for latency. But Be Value is far cheaper and better otherwise.

Thanks for the info.

I'd actually missed the £30 line install. So could just have the phone then get BE.

Hmmm

Yes.

But they may refuse to take you on a long line, which the estimates suggest. They can be persuaded into a migration on a line where you know the actual attenuation, but you aren't in that position.

I'm not sure what is best to do. See what Be have to say perhaps? But in my opinion not a Be landline, just the Broadband.

In reply to a post by Anonymous:
alot of dropped packets in that graph.



no packet loss in that graph.......it is latency you can see,and as you can see from my BQM below your level of latency is about normal for VM....i play a lot of gaming on Xbl and have no probs....it could be that you are unlucky and you are in an area with very high usage from other VM users......but tbh your connection looks ok from your BQM......


some downstream and upstream power levels from you modem/superhub would help..then wee can see if you need a tech out to alter them........


hope you get things sorted....


edit: you will notice that the latency on my live graph has been quite erratic for the last couple of hours,thats because i have been streaming hd movies
