something is definitely amiss because I have been with BT for more than four years and until recently it was OK.

The BT engineer I spoke to checked my line, increased the gain and said with the connection running at 43500 bps it was an excellent rate . Sure it is excellent, but only in short bursts. And to be honest I am getting pretty narked at paying £14.99 (soon to be £15.99) for access that amounts to about 40 useful minutes a day.

Techies at work reckon it is the BT server but I will go out and buy a better modem and see if that cures it .

If not I will get Pipex broadband and send out thousands of change of e-mail address messages. That is the worst thing about it , you rely on a company, give them some commitment for fours years and when it starts going wrong get nothing back from them.

Here endeth the nightly moan.
