I'd let the evidence and facts speak for themselves and not someone who has a bee in their bonnet with regards to BE

Oh no not more "facts" from your wheeze hole LMAO

In reply to a post by mje_uk:

We seem to have drifted away from the original subject of whether, with a long line from the exchange and subject to other problems causing it to flap around, one is better off with an LLU ADSL2+ type connection, or one from BT Wholesale.
My distillation from the advice so far is that the former is probably preferable, not because it offers higher speed but because it should resync less frequently. (Pls correct me if I have got the wrong mesage here)

In addition to this is the separate question of why the line flaps around and here we have stumbled into the very important structural problem of why ISPs are not keen to chase BT

As stated go sign up to BE, and enjoy

Thanks RobertoS for that clarification, I think that sums it up.
I am going to give the dreaded Talk-Talk another go and risk high blood pressure. Assuming that gets me nowhere other than another twiddle of my "profile", I would like to migrate to AAISP, but that is not financially realistic, hence I guess I'll give Be a try.
Thanks again

You really are an extremely unpleasant individual

I'm prepared to be corrected if I'm wrong but I believe that there is no long term contract with A&A, just one month's notice would be required when leaving.

Thanks burakkucat,

<there is no long term contract with A&A, just one month's notice>

er .... quite ... that had occured to me too ! 30 days notice from date of termination, I think. Mmm !

Regards

So join A&A, make use of them to get your line's infrastructure fixed and then move on?

Does the AAISP guarantee apply to BE-based lines?

Technically, no

No doubt you will give me your opinion.

Personally, I'm not bothered one way or the other. My only concern is to give the OP a pointer as to how he can get the defect(s) of his current infrastructure resolved. When the metallic path problem is fixed, he could then, if he so desires, migrate to Be.

Thank you for your interest in what I have posted. I do not wish to join any debate about the merits (or otherwise) of Be because, quite simply, I have no experience of that provider.
