Well im getting sick of orange so im thinking of changing my internet provider.
Anyone have idea's who to choose??
Was thinking about moving over to sky but have heard mixed reviews so any help would be good.

Looking in all honesty for the cheapest but with good connection speeds.


Thanks
 
Looks pretty reasonable........But its not yet available in my area:(

After all this my orange seems pretty fast tonight for some reason

I give up with internet lol

Check www.samknows.com under 'exchange search' to find information on your exchange to see if there is a date for activation. Assuming you haven't already done so :)

If its definitely not getting activated. Then i would recommend ADSL24.

Not got sky at the moment but was an option as my dad wants it for the sport so was thinking of just getting all in one package but i have read a few people on here having trouble with it though?
 
Right well at the moment im using an old usb modem i have as a back up
But i did a print out whilst using the Livebox

It said Attainable download rate - 3072

Actual rate 2816
Upload 448
Noise margin 15.2
Attenuation 54(db)

Now although it was connected at a good speed the internet was slow as anything

Also not sure how far away i am how do i check this?

Good job you guys are here with all the info
Well here is what it said about the distance

You are approximately 2.83km from the exchange. Note that this is the straight line distance - the actual cable length will be longer!
 
Right internet just started going slow then lost connection
Re connected its now at 2.7 mbps but it seems slow as anything again
Still using usb modem :(
 
Well when i have my router in its in the master socket and this is when i have the problems
I can only use the modem on the extension due to the usb connection on it
I have been using the router on the extension for ages with no problems but just lately its been realy realy slow

Im actually downloading at the moment and its at 223kb/sec
Which is actually what i would expect but im just wandering how long it will last:(
 
Its strange i was downloading the same thing last night at not a bad rate then internet went slow and so did the download down to about 13kb/sec
I think that was after it dissconnected
Then it was slow all night left it till this morning and its goin great still downloading at 230kb/sec
 
Well i think were going to go with Sky

Do i need to cancel my orange connection before we order sky or how do i go about it??

Thanks for all the advice guys
 
Well im back to using my Netgear router its straight into the main socket and all other pc's are using wirelss

Just ran speedtest yet again and got this



Now if it was like this all the time i would be happy but why does it just drop suddenly with no warning or what not???
 
Thing is whenever i have rang them they always come back with its fine on our end
Get in touch with your isp

Right ok
Well i will see how it goes as today its great
Anymore troubles then i think i will tell orange to sort it out

Cheers for the help guys :)
