I was going to change from SkyBroadband to BT, when my contract is up, but now youve told me this, its got me wondering.:suspect:

 

It gets a bad press but (touch wood) it has never (really) let me down - and don't forget all the others piggy back BT anyway...

Yes, I know they piggy back BT, but in their adverts for broadband they say they have been judged as being the top boadband service provider. Sometimes they say its the area you are in dont they ?

There's the key thing...

 

Just wondered why it had suddenly gone slow - maybe my neighbour is hosting a high traffic site and dragging bandwidth..:huh:

Sometimes its slow on SF, but not on Google. Then you know it SF.If its slow on them both, its your ISP.

It some times is the area though, for example here in Stannington I don't think there's any household that can get above 512k, because we're too far away from the exchange near Fletcher's Bakery at Wadsley Bridge.

 

And there's no cable round here so Virgin's out of the question as well.

What in particular is being slow?... I know BT have recently introduced throttling of download speeds at peak times.

downloads have been slow for the last week or so - general browsing is ok though
