I've just moved my ISP to Nildram from AOL(no i did't use their software!).I had the Nildram 2meg connection for a week or so,quite happy with it but thought i'd upgrade to the "upto 8meg" seeing as it was the same price.Checked my line to see if it could handle the speed and it came back with the result=Your line can handle 5/8meg.So i thought,5meg,can't grumble at that,so i re-grade.
BIG mistake,i had constant dis-connections whilst the line went through this 10 day 'evaluating what speed your line can take'I put up with that thinking it'll be worth it.
Ends up with this=Your maximium line speed can handle 0.5meg Yep,thats right 0.5meg.This is after AOL have supplied me for over 2/3years with 2meg,sometimes it went down to 1.2meg but never below 1meg.I live 1.6(2.5kms) miles away from the exchange,noise on my line is well below tolerances.They assure me there's no fault on the line.
I just can't seem to get them to understand how it can jump from 2meg from AOL down to 0.5meg after re-grading to this adsl max 8meg s**te.
Anyone else had the same problem??
