I'm going to be phoning up on Monday morning to pay the £50 deposit and get the engineer to hook my line up then phone Be and get me hooked up. I have the 20meg but I don't agree with the STM as my 10meg line was more enjoyable for when I needed it and I hardly hammer my line on Newsgroups as who can be bothered burning DVD's all the time.
I can get 24meg and a phone line for slightly cheaper than I pay for
my 20meg alone. I also have the 24/7 free calls but I never use it and for £12.50 a month I get free evening and weekend calls and that's only £2 a month as it's £10.50 for the line rental
.
It's mainly for the gaming side of it for the ping problems I'm having that VM are refusing to help me out and I gave them one chance. I'm not asking again for a service I pay for so it's their loss
. Also the peace of mind to use my newsgroups at any time will be a bonus even though it's rarely used.
Also check the distance from my house to the exchange

I've been having problems with my internet for gaming in some UK and NL servers and a call to India was useless as since I could connect to google meant that my line was in perfect order. I just agreed to get him off the line before I lost the plot. I had asked him to send out an engineer to see if that would help and he just totally blanked me, I asked again and that's when he told me that if google was working then there wasn't a need for an engineer. GRRRRRRR.
As you see from this picture - Half of the servers get effected and others don't. This never happened before the upgrade and it happens all the time and everyday. Mostly in the middle of a game
. All the {FP} servers are usually 20 - 50 ping max but usually in the 20 - 30 zone. It lasts up to an hour sometimes
