Here are my ISP figures for Jan. & Feb. 2o10. All seems to be stable apart from a slight glitch at the end of Feb.
Looking at the early figures for March, now seems to have settled down again.
Interesting add on to these figures. I finally received my ‘free’ broadband from Talk Talk after accepting their offer last October 2009 – five month!!!
This was part of a deal that Talk Talk ran last year for moving my line rental from BT to them – I had already been ‘calls’ only customer for some four years. Anyway, thank goodness that I did not cancel my BT Broadband. Yes I am paying £6.50 a month less than with BT, but five months wait!!!
Anyway, why do I now have two broadband suppliers? I had my second BT line put in over 15 years ago (paid for by the company I then worked for) so that I had a separate dial-up connection without interrupting my ‘domestic’ line and of course it was converted to early broadband when that can along and gradually it has built up to what it is today.
I still use that BT connection today for my own business (working in Publishing IT and sometimes have to shift some fairly large files around) and it has remained pretty reliable. If it took Talk Talk five months to deliver my broadband I wonder what the service and connection quality will be like?
So I will add that line to my testing for March and see what I get as results and make decision about retaining the BT line in a couple of months time.
