BT line rental is going up 70p in December.

In reply to a post by chrish16:

Going back to my original question. How does BT's 21CN compare to LLU? If on 21CN aren't we subject to BT's IP Profiling stuff? Does it also make any difference that a lot of 21CN products are up to 20Mbps and LLU is usually up to 24Mbps?

I am on a pretty long line,, so my sync speed will never be great here. I was with Bt broadband for 20 months or so, it was ok, in fact I had 3.5megabits most of the time until they changed to their 21CN system.

I then found that i had disconnections, when they sroted that out my sync speed was just above 2megabits and their profiling could not cope for some reason, I was at 2 megabits one day, the next day it could be 1 megabit.

so after a lot of thought and thanks to some people on these forums I decided to drop Bt and go with a Cable and wireless LLU supplier, which was ADSL24 in the end. Broadband wise i think it was one of the best things I ever done.
I now get over 4megabits sync speed using my speedtouch, just over 3.5 if I use the netgear. It stays constant as there is no profiling or DLM on Cable and wireless.


Not saying all LLU services are as good, most of the others have some form of DLM, but I know that sky at least will change it if there are problems.

what LLU services are available where you are?

I know my broadband cost more than than say Sky or Talk Talk, but at least it is unlimited and no traffic management.
Of cause it don't mean that I will stay where i am until the end, depends on money and if I need to cut down any time.
