First, may I admit they are better than our previous service providers, AOL gave us 3.4meg and BT 4.2meg.

Didn't like BT speed last time!

You're incorrect. Speed IS relevant. In general one pays more for a quicker connection.

I could pay more get a quicker connection but less download per month.

Deal with that!

If you're stuck with a BTW ADSL connection you can pay more but it won't go faster if you are limited by the length of the line. You'd have to pay substantially more to go faster (ie leased lines, etc).

The speed on ADSL/ADSL2+ is dependent on length and it doesn't matter how much money you throw at the ISP it won't go any faster. The packages are technology based and that is what defines the maximum speed - even going from ADSL to ADSL2+ won't make a difference for longer lines.

But then you almost certainly know all these facts and so not quite sure why you argued with the previous poster.

You seem a pita. If you are not happy, switch to BT and pay more for the same speed. Incidentally, BT charge the same for high-speed Infinity as copper - Deal with that!

To the last few posters......... it seems the festive season has ended early.

Less confrontational please folks....or I will deal with that!


Happy New Year.....if it suits you of course.

Was I included in that? Didn't think I was particularly confrontational, didn't intend to be.

So, in the spirit of the season, Happy New Year to all.

It was intended as a "if the cap fits" type post. "Deal with that" was a clue.

I tend to agree yours it is not a post that I could hang my hat on.

Good day to you sir!

And a good day to you too

What's a "pita"?

I'm more than happy with my lot. You can't get Infinity for £9.50 / month.

My statement was based on fact, PCoventry's was not!

Deal Or No Deal.
