My dsl went down for 7 hours today... 7 god forsaken hours where I felt like I was coming down off heroin... Jesus I've not realised how much I rely on thenet. If it was taken away from me again like this, I think I would go insane!

But yeah, I thought when it was back up I would have 2mb, but I'm still limited to 512. The exchange has to be upgraded, as im getting the max my connection could really offer(54ksex) constantly from good servers, which is nice, as before I seemed to be limited to bloody 44-45k/sec. But still, I was looking foreward to 2mb after having 0mb for 7 hours. Well sh!tfvck@sscvntboll0cks, tbfh.

hehe you have descirbed me to a T. :eek:

As of about 10 minutes ago UTV have upped their speeds. This is what the bandwidth test gives me.

I *presume* that IOL will be upgraded aswell because it's a wholesale product change, we've already seen one person on UTV upgraded
