[BNM] Sick of be broadband

[Alastair James]

Hmmm..... I will switch my DNS over to opendns, although I dont
*think* its that, as its not look up times that are slow, its transfer
times. I.e. large images downloading bit by bit over a second or
more...

However in general it seems slightly better this morning...

>> I have been having the same problems with Tiscali, after almost a month of being on the phone, they finally admitted to me that there is severe congestion on the hove exchange (I have verified this elsewhere).
>>
> Tiscali have unbundled lines in the Hove exchange, so this would be
> limited to Tiscali's service.

>> So I guess is affecting all isp's (except BT it would seem, who give their packets higher priority).

> If it's an unbundled line, like Be would be, then it wouldn't be
> affected by problems with BT's ADSL service
>>
>> The congestion will not be resolved until the upgrade to 21CN is carried out in June. That is my understanding.
>>
> 21CN would only help BT's wholesale service, not Tiscali or Be. By all
> accounts Hove will be ready for broadband via 21CN by the end of this
> month. Voice calls are already using it.
