Hi Ali
My son moved to a new build last year with his girlfriend. The Initiative
wouldn't let him have Virgin that he was using at his old address, so had to
settle for BT Broadband at, as you say, around 17mb. Ironically, his dad lives
in the very next street and gets BT Infinity Fibre Broadband at 61mb. Quite
how these things are worked out I haven't a clue. My son is a gamer so
obviously wants a better speed but can't get it at the moment. So I do know
where you are coming from, but sadly don't have any suggestions as my son can't
move up with his either.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi all,
I have just moved to a new area where I can only get normal broadband through
the telephone line. All of the providers say that I can only get maximum of
17mb, but, all of the speed tests shows no more than 4 or 5mb. If both of my
sons are using their PCs, (for their gaming), the internet gets really sluggish
and I cannot even brows the internet. Unfortunately, there is no fast internet
line or virgin serving this area.
Apart from getting a separate new line installed, could anyone recommend
anything else? I am thinking one of those mobile broadband dongles. Would they
be good enough for TV streaming and internet browsing etc?
Thanks
Ali
