Hey guys,
I called Nildram the other day because I’ve been having a few speed issues with their MAX service. I started with about 2.4 MB and that has gradually dropped to 0.9 MB, which is what I’m currently getting
Nildram saw, and accepted the fault and BT came out to my house a couple of days later, yesterday.
The engineer ran his ‘laptop/modem’ test from nearly every socket in the house and informed me that with my stats, 55 dB Attenuation and SNR of 8-16, it basically wasn’t worth me subscribing to a MAX package because those stats could only support a 1 MB connection…
He laughed at BT’s website prediction that my line could support 3 MB!!!
His exact advice was that I should move nearer the exchange
So what should I do? Do I reside myself to the fact that I am just one of those unlucky ones that can’t have MAX (I’ll be the only person I know who can’t) or are there other things I can ask Nildram to ask BT for. Interleaving etc?
Otherwise can someone recommend me a nice, solid 1 MB package
Cheers,
SW.
