ez8004   10 #13 Posted August 20, 2018 Extract from a chat with TT when they increased my prices and negotiations with their Loyalty Team: "Me:*What length is £24.50 for then?  TT Chat: The £24.50 is for 24 months, however the boosts will run out of discounts in five months.  Me:*What are the current two boosts then as you only mentioned UK calls.  TT Chat: The other is the fibre speed boost, which allows your speed to be an average of 63mbps.  Me:*That is unrealistic as I don't live on a road with fibre to the house. That is why I had the obsolete medium fibre package.  TT chat: Would you like to cancel off the fibre speed boost?  Me:*What will the speed be without? At the moment all I get is 2 mbps.  TT Chat: J, you are not getting 2mbps. My system shows that with boost you are receiving*79.7 mbps on your lowest download.  TT Chat: Without the boost, you get an average of 35mbps.  Me:*When I download GNU/Linux isos it only shows 2 mbps if I'm lucky due to copper connection to the cabinet at the bottom of the road  TT Chat: I see, may I ask if you have you spoke to our technical team before about this matter?  TT Chat: spoken*  Me:*There is physically no point unless they have the alchemy skills to turn copper into glass! LOL!"  Need I say more?  Commercially used telecommunications optic fibre is not made of glass LMAO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
