Slower broadband than promised...not really??

My ISP is DEMON INTERNET. I try to run two business from home with possibly the most pathetically slow broadband speed in the UK, which tonight averages around 97KBPS - not bad by the usual standards.
I blame DEMON (my ISP), DEMON blames TALK TALK (my phone network) and TALK TALK blame BT (who are supposed to look after the lines).

So with three grossly inefficient organizations each blaming the other, although refusing to talk to each other, I get nowhere. The problem's been around for about 8 years now....when I fist signed up for broadband.

Still, you have to give them some credit. They managed to con me and thousands like me, I suspect. Broadband, as far as I'm concerned, is as big a con as sub-prime lending and all that jazz!
