Re BT Broadband Speed?

Question

Hi guys,
Has anyone noticed that your pc has slowed down this week, even though u aint got too much rubbish on it.

I got a brand new Fujitsu laptop, only 3 weeks old, worked fine but now from this week it has slowed down a lot.

I read something about BT in Hemel Hemstead and them running out of broadband space or what you call it. Apparently they are working on something which will take a month. New orders for Broadband apparently people have been waiting some time to get online. Anyone know anything about this and do you yhink this is what is causing my pc to run slow, lastly, I am also having probs with my internet phone cutting out, no line and person on the line cannot hear you. Anyone that can help please. Thank you.

Answer 1

Switch to cable.

Answer 2

my computer has been slow today- on bt broadband top package 29.99 a month and on a network. Didn't think it was my computer. It's been like dial up today. Could be BT- will have to look in to it as paying loads for slow service is no good.

Answer 3

you have hit it on the nail. i live in Liverpool my laptop is only 2months old , i also am on bt broadband and am experiencing the same problems with laptop slowing down and problem with phone. i phoned bt about this and they said hey were experiencing difficulties and things would improve. i have also lost out on important phone calls because the caller could not hear me.

Answer 4

Try a broadband speed scanner, This is one I use quite often and it will give you a fairly comprehensive test of your adsl line. http://www.broadbandspeedtest.net/ If your results are poor then you can get on to B.T. I had to do this, as at first when I upgraded from two meg. to up to ten meg. I was actually only getting one meg. Now getting five meg I hope this helps.
