One thing with this lot they are consistant, never make a complaint, because as always they do not like it speed on my fibreoptic line has droped again.
Happens every time looks like they must have a line so that it flags a complaint then drops the speed automatically for that person.
This is my speed for the last two days again after the complaint went in.

Maybe they are doing some work with the infrastructure like expanding it, I did hear they had a temporary issue with a third party that provides the internet service. Possibly BT,Virgin Media,Thus/Cable and Wireless

Haha popsad, thats certainly an interesting outlook! I doubt that they cut your speed when you complain

What speedtest service/site are you using?

I wonder if they will ever get snapped up by Virgin Media? Thats adding nearly 50,000 homes and a few businesses. Which is also Virgin Media's target for next few years.

I cant imagine so. The investment required to take them over would probably be more than Virgin infilling the same amount of properties in their own franchise areas.
