Re: Internet Speed
Further to that.....
My next door neighbour has a land line with ADSL, they constantly lose their connection for days on end. All the lines from our nearest exchange (just over 4 Kms away) are above ground and are prone to breakdowns. My neighbour use their internet for business use and find the frailty infuriating.
Although I am happyish with my dongle (although I can only get 10% of the max speed), TMN are constantly trying to get me to upgrade to their TV, phone and internet, I just cannot see as mentioned in the previous paragraph, how they expect that to work.
I don't think there is enough complaining done.

Funny thing is since complaining on here a couple of days ago I haven't had to reboot!!!
First week I have had like that for about 9 months

Re: Internet Speed
I think one has to look around and see what works best in our area, i live near Boliqueime and have used a kangoroo dongle for a year now , and i usually get a steady 1.5mg although i have a 3.6 which i never got , that said, a friend visited a couple a weeks ago and had his Tmn dongle with him and ias ked for him to check his speed ..and what a surprise for both he got 6.5 up and 5 mg download , something he never got where he lives near Paderne , so basically one has to ask and see what works better where one lives , so now he is thinking of moving over ...lol...and i am definetly going to change to Tmn

Hi Tony
Funny thing is....I use my broadband for work and with it being christmas/new year it has only been used for personal use so I havent done large uploads/downloads and it has been fantastic.
Not a single reboot whatsoever!!!!
