Broadband connection query

[rico]

I signed up for a certain company that offers a 4mbps connection in London (see previous posts by me if interested).

Signed up on 31st August.

Still not connected.

Rang them up and they claim its down to BT now as BT have to update the exchange with my details.

I was under the impression that once a exchange was updated to broadband, new users could be added remotely?

The broadband supplier also claimed they didn't inform BT for 2 weeks after i signed up... that normal?



guess who needs more mp3s...

This company has something to do with Dogs and Bulls yes? They're totally sh1te at the moment. Chap here at work has that 4MB service. Whore's draws springs to mind....

Indeed it does... woof!

They're doing shed loads of advertising at the moment on the tube so they can't be short of money... hope they get their finger out and sort it all out

There is a much "easier" way to get 4 or even 8Mbps.......

Sly... but how much?

I'm paying £20/month for the first 3, the £30/month for 4mbps...

*touch wood* no problems now its connected...

[joust]

It's business class (i.e. it's reliable enough to run a business on it, comes with 8hr fix, doesn't suffer from contention etc. etc.) so it's well over £100 per month.

Not exactly cheap for home users - but as they say, you get what you pay for...

Fair enough, but for a personal use, Bulldog's deal is a bargain. Lets just hope the service is reliable... :fingerscrossedsmilie:
