Sorry to but in here, but shake a leg guys. When you talk to BT, for goodness sakes try to at least initially play down the "I am blind and using a screen reader" bit. That's not your problem or theirs. The speed issue is. The fact that you are blind is absolutely and totally secondary to your problem of dropouts and slow speed. All you are doing is giving some guy in a call centre, in what may as well be Outer Mongolia, a question he is not programmed for.

What matters is the Why the connection problem. And if it's relate to a screen reader then yes it's a disability issue. It's just the same if we were to discuss Typetalk, or BT Textdirect.
