i just upgraded to 10mbps on blueyonder
ive been on 4mbps and the speeds have been great about 90% of the advertised speed but since they upgraded me to 10mbps i am only getting about 50% of the advertised speed about 500kB/sec never saw more then that probbably thier network is not capable of anythign more then that
repeated calls to customer service result in them asking me to plug out the modem and plug in after 5 mins wtf? i am a webmaster and ive got 6 websites with a considerable amount of traffic and ive been managing my dedicated server for the last 3 years and blueyonder tells me to switch off the modem and turn it on again in 5 mins ? and after all the talks i managed to convince one of the guys that i know what i am doing and then he comes up with a different idea this time he goes i am using a usb cable try ethernet i did in about 30 seconds with no difference in speed after this the gentleman says you have some spyware on your computer (i had done a factory restore just to make sure its nothing wrong on my end ) and i told him thats not the case as i tried two desktop pc's one laptop for speed test and also tried a new cable to be sure now he comes up with an argumen that my speed tests are not accurate and askd me to take screen shots of tests and download speeds and send an e-mail
will keep you all posted abou what happens next
