Hey all,
I read a few post's before i decided to post this, and was kinda shocked to see that alot of people (in uk) are having this slow broadband problem aswell...
Anyway my query is this, when i first connected up with tiscali bb (2mb ADSL/SAGEM Modem) the first few weeks understandably where a bit slow, then after that i got a near solid 2mb speed and about 1.2mb at peek times. It was brilliant !
However, recently my average speed has significantly dropped to like 250/400 Kbps. (54 Kbps Slowest speed < That's near dial-up speeds !) There has been no significant hardware or software changes recently and i haven't moved the modem or anything. I have also tried everything that is suggested in the tiscali help pages (bar reinstalling windows) and the suggestions given from tech support over the phone. At the moment i have been told by tech support that they have "Refreshed my line" and to monitor the speed over the next few days.
I was just wondering if i might have missed something, and if there is anything else that i could try ?
ps - I was told about something called a "MAC number" and a few days ago i caught a snippet of it on the breakfast show, but what is a MAC number ?
Cheers.
