marsbar1973 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I believe its all down to the bt exchange in your area. Mine was set at 2mb for some time, then they upgraded it to 12mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickeys16v Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 it annoys me cause my sister inlaw lives about 400meters away from me and she is on 5.4mb and hers is free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsbar1973 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Aye, its a bugger isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 It's "Up to 8mbit". Tough tittie, unfortunately. It's BT's new way of getting out of replacing less-than-perfect lines (and yes, distance from the exchange does play a big part). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant upgrade the line, You need to wait till bt have upgraded it to 8. Most places have 8 now. Playing the 360 online depends on you're upload speed. If it is low the game will jerk. Try this speed test http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/. My upload speed is around 360kb and xbox is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 apparently, according to a super duper geek i know BT are planning an amazing fibre optic telecomunications network being put in place of the currect copper shite soon,so they'll make cable look crap. apparently,personally,i really miss NTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickeys16v Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 ive just moved into my new house 3 months ago only built so i thought they would have that sorted out already but looks like they are cheap scapes, as to paying for the 8mb and im only getting 2mb its £19.99 for 8 mb wireless and £14.99 for wired so i might aswell keep what im on for the missus being on the laptop its better me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
