bad service get deleted. avoid these cowboys.

speedtest via dslzoneuk.net. so slow i actually thought it timed out. but after a few minutes here's the result:
139.4 Kbps
which is around 17.43 KB/s

I get 40kb/s on my mobile's gprs via UMTS. Guess what ill be using from now on.

Exactly the same here, they reckon things will improve when the new

the "possibility" of some form of traffic shaping
The beginning of the end i feel

I'm hanging on until the end of the month when they promised all will
