Change your host for testing. You're still using a UK based company.

It won't give you rocket speed but it might help a little.

I know, but keep losing the connection, so it's not worth the candle :(

Take comfort in the fact that there is 3% of the French population who have it even worse.

Swapped my package from bt to now broadband, I have finally got my separate modem/router to work :p so I am now longer tied to the now tv hub 2

Not to bad considering it's synced at 40/10 (52 mb package)

i love Telia here in sweden. i pay for 250/100 with SpeedBurst activated on Telia network. Starting with 700mbps and goes down till 290 and upload starts at 250 and goes down to110

SpeedBurst allows users to temporarily exceed the bandwidth limit for up to 10-15 seconds (depends on configuration)

We're currently on our summer sojourn in France (effinell it's hot - but that's another story). Only been here for a week and a day when yesterday morning just before lunch our internet connection went tits-up. This is by no means the first time we've lost internet (and with it phone) and every time it's been a mission to get the fault sorted. This time I thought I'd try the on-line chat using my phone.

The chap who came on didn't speak English so I was forced to try to chat using the titchy phone keyboard and battling autocorrect constantly trying to change words into something it recognised in English. Anyway, he said he could see that there was a break in the line 300m from the exchange and he would raise a repair ticket for it. He hoped that they would get onto it in 48 hours or less. But, in the meantime, he would arrange for a "pocket box" to be made available for me at my local SFR shop. This little box simply logs into the 3G or 4G network and broadcasts a wifi signal.

Long (very long) story short I've got it up and running and here is the magnificent result.

I didn't think it was possible to get a worse result than the landline but they've proved that they can.

Apparently 12% of the French population in wallowing in more misery than you...

I'd step on all of them to get a better service.

Looks like they might be on a similar system to your home QTH.

Yes, I think so, what with the unnecessarily high upload speed!
