- Bulldog Sales 'Argument'
- Posted by Paul C on July 27th, 2005
Hi
Have had the Bulldog sales on to me, however they are insisting my line will
be OK for 8Mb even though it does not reliably support 2Mb and I have had to
go back to 1Mb after recent BT Broadband upgrade. The sales girl 'Sonia'
wittered on about contention ratios but I kept telling her if I cannot get
2Mb down my line they are not going to get 8Mb.
My Zyxel modem reports 51dB attenuation with noise margin of 13db. (it was
about 7 when 2Mb)
Are they telling porkies or do they do something with my line that BT don't.
thanks
Paul

other than attatch their services to the end of it, you already know the
probability of getting more than you do now...

< 43dB is the limit for 2MB so I assume it can only be lower for 8Mb...
Another vote for porkies here too....

says...
I'm a 4 meg customer who always (almost) connects at 4 meg.
All exhanges have supposedly been upgraded to allow 8 meg connections
now. But my line has never, ever, ever tried to synch at a speed faster
than 4 meg. Ever (in case I hadn't gotten that accross).

All exchanges haven't been upgraded yet, but will be eventually
I think what he is actually saying is that he hasn't even got a reliable 4Mb
connection let alone 8Mb..

Hi
As a follow up their supervisor said if line does not get 8Mb they will put
a new one in that will (but lose current number)
Yeah...and how long will that take??

They won't put anything in, they'll go to BT & get BT to put another line in
& if you live anything more than a couple of km from the exchange you won't
get 8Mb with that one either....
