It should be easy enough to put a cheap signal booster or repeater on long lines.

Really though these are the ones that would most gain from upgrading to fibre.

No, Im talking 3G - USB thingy...

Its probably not going to happen anyway as I cant get any more than 7Gb / month allowance.

Can I politely suggest taking the barsteward hostage until hes fixed the bloody thing? Ive heard its against ones human rights to only be connected to humanity by a saggy piece of wet string in the modern age.

Im just pretty disappointed they didnt do this tweak when the ticket was first raised... 3 months ago...  :disappointed:

Still, things are looking promising now.  Just hope the BT guy doesnt f**k it up.

You accidentally beat him to death before he tweaked rather than afterwards?

Finally arrived and said nothing can be done.  Much like the first one.  Im not sure why PlusNet insisted they call another engr out but there you go.

Im now looking at renting a number of lines as Im told its possible.  Anyone had any experience of this?

you could take out something like O2 or whoever is offering a 30 or 50 day "see if it works" option?

Its not the ISP, its the line length.

sounds similar to what sky told me. your line is too long. why then did BE manage to provide me a service at twice the speed?
