Hi everyone. Hope you had a nice Christmas.
Quick question: Is anyone here connected to the Battersea exchange in SW London? If so, how have your connection speeds been lately? I've had an abysmal connection for the last 2 days. The official BT speed tester reports 31 kbps - that's right: thirty-one - on a 2meg line.
Unfortunately I am with Prodigy, which obviously means that I cannot reach anyone in their tech support - ever. Having said that, I'm pretty sure the problem isn't with them but with BT, but I'd like to make sure. The exchange status checker shows Battersea as "red". But it's been red for the last couple of months and so far I've always had alright-ish speeds.
If it really is a problem in the exchange, is there anything a mere mortal can do, or do I just have to wait until somebody sorts it out?
Thanks, Chris.
