Hi, i'm a very intensive gamer and i'm not in the best mood with BT and our exchange. Our broadband line keeps dropping regulary; i've not been able to use my PS3 online for 3 weeks.
I live in the middle of two exchange's; Melksham and Keevil...
My problem is that we're connected to the keevil exchange which can only provide us with 3 - 4 mb's down our line, and it keeps dropping about 2 - 3 times a day for x amount of time; never the same but less than an hour. We've contacted BT and they say nothings wrong with our line;
I was looking at Virgin Media fibre-optic but i was dissapointed because the keevil exchange is so out-dated; and now i was hoping we could maybe be connected to the melksham exchange which is far more modern and could provide us fibre-optic because we live litterally down the road from a row of houses which can get fibre-optic from virgin...
I'm going to cut this short, i need somebody to answer these questions:
1. Can we change our exchange being that we're in the middle of the two?
2. Will we have to have a new telephone number?
3. If we change exchange's then will virgin know we're in a fibre-optic area?
4. Would it be costly for us to change our exchange?
5. How would i go about changing our exchange, phone calls, letters and so on?
It's really irritating that all my friends have fibre-optic and i don't... They don't even invite me into thier games on PSN because i'll only lose connection like every 5 minutes from the game and they can't be bother to keep sending invites... So please can somebody help me; i'm beggin you... lol
Thank you for anybody who helps me with my problem...
