only 4.5 out of 5 ? you are getting more than they advertised, wouldn't it be 5 out of 5 or is their customer service crap?

I got a faulty router at first and I thought it was my computer that was faulty cause it disconnects every 15-60min interval in ethernet and never disconnects on wireless. But got it changed for free after writing to them. If not I would rate it 3/5 :D

ISP Virgin media 

 

Signed up for a 50 down 5 up 

now get  2806498469.pngwithout having to contact them free of charge. 

 Rating 4/5 - occasional down time but usually fixed within 24h, also traffic management in peak times :( speed is reduced by 75% if you exceed a certain amount in a time span.

ISP: Mweb

 

what I should get: 1 mbps down, 512 kbps up (dont judge i live in south africa)

what i do get: don't even ask

 

rating -5/5

 

I totally agree. Switch to Axxess, although throttling is still bit of problem, it's still better than MWeb.

ISP: Telstra


Advertised Speed: ADSL2+ (up to 24 Mbps down and 1.4 Mbps up)


Accomplished Speed: 4.27 Mbps download, 0.32 Mbps upload


Rating: 4/5

Despite the slow speeds, it's important to note that I live about five kilometres from the nearest exchange, in a rural area. The land directly surrounding my house is farmland (several hundred hectares). I am very happy with 4 Mbps speeds.

ISP: Sky Broadband

Advertised Speed: ADSL2+ (Up to 16 Mbps down in this case and 2 up)

Actual Speed: 15.50 Mbps Download (Above 16 at most times though) and 0.94 Upload (Would prefer higher upload no complained about download for ADSL)

Fibre coming within a year which will give 80 down and thankfully about 20 up

 

Rating: 5/5

 

Had them since 2009 never had a problem, Speeds have increased if anything, gone from about 10 to the current 16 download over that time. No experience with support as never actually needed them and for where I live that speed is amazing especially for ADSL.

Although I can get faster speed for the same price.


The consistency and great tech support I get make it worth. And they don't block ports (for ex: CCTV).

Rated @ 30 down/5 up (???) 

 

...so the speeds are good considering, but the price is outrageous. $110 month for internet,  basic cable which is 10 channels if that and digital phone which doesn't even have long distance. This is their "cheap" package  :wacko:

Lack of choice mate, slow internet or no internet, I know which I'd rather have.

the worst part about this is Uverse is half a mile away from our small neighborhood of about 15 houses. im sure each house is willing to pay for uverse but AT&T doesnt want to run the lines.

ISP name: BT

Plan: 10mb/s down 2 mb/s up

Actual: 2mb/s down 0.4mb/s up (this is due to living in villages and having copper cables that have been around for a hundred years)

Rating: 3/5  i have an unlimited package and i have never been throttled however when you have a problem it doesn't get fixed for days, even when the problem is you can't connect to the internet.
