[BNM] Sick of be broadband

[Alastair James]

Anyway... It seems that the real slow down was a sunday afternoon
thing. Across a few tests (I know you have to treat tests with a pinch
of salt, but hey) I got an average of 0.2Mbps transfer speed
yesterday, today 12.93Mbps! Thats quite a difference!

>>>> 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

>>>> 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

>>>> 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
