Neggers, Cheggers. :( :(

Plusnet cant get me on until 21st April. :(  Im still trying to troubleshoot my Nildram connection (seeing as theyre doing FA....)



Currently on 12.5kb/s and getting worse.

Thanks.

1am+ and broadbands back (until 9am)  Just goes to prove that Nildram are definitely throttling.


Maldonado

Pm me your PlusNet username and Ill see what I can do for you ;)

Out of interest, do you agree that Nildram are throttling?

Maldonado

Yep.

Companies like Nildram are scared of admitting that they throttle people, because theyve banged their drum about unlimited connections and no download limits for years.

PlusNet are open and honest about their throttling so that you know exactly what youre going to get.

27 days...

Theyve threatened me with visit by a BT engineer - to see if theres a fault on my equipment.  Apparently, if he finds a fault, I will owe BT £150.

Ive told them there is no fault on my equipment - but they are free to waste the engineers time; Ill not be paying for Nildrams diagnostics, regardless...

Consistently, night after night I get full-on broadband between 1am and 9am (but at no other time).

Nildram say theyre not throttling my connection.  I say Nildram are lying scum.

Lookie:



Id love to torch their Headquarters... thieving criminals that they are.

Hopefully, itll improve further as it does the learning thing.

Youre provisioned on 2mbit, which often happens on MAC code transfers. There will be a ticket automatically put through to re-grade you to 8mbit, it should be done today but Ill grab it tomorrow (when Im on shift) if not.

[Edit: PM me the telephone number your broadbands on, ill see what i can do form here...]

Eagle

Done, thanks again. :)  3.8 is the most Ive ever got on this line but no harm trying!

Keep it connected and it might edge up a bit more :D
