Not content to let Orange and O2 be the only idiots in town, BT have stepped in.
First they LIED about the activation date for the line itself and now they can’t give us any forecast of when the line will be made available to broadband.
They claim to have no idea.
What’s more: BT reckon that my entirely NON-rural address should be capable of a maximum of a 256 kilobit download speed.
I’m completely underwhelmed.
[ UPDATE: I will have broadband in 7-10 days. Whoop de frigging doo. At a seat-of-pants-tearing 512Kbits. Maybe.]
I have the same problem with BT, I live off the main Belfast to Bangor Rd and can only get 512k
Er, in the end I went with SKy Broadband and got 6 Mbits down and 384 kbits up.
If only……….sky can only offer me 256K Apparently my house is at the very limit of the Holywood exchange 6 miles or so!
