Wondered how long it would take

Well on Monday Engineer came and installed Infinity, over 38mb..  I was so impressed i left a not on here Praising BT.
By monday night i changed my tune  when i discovered how severely they throttle the connection.
And today my speed is down to 15-18mb depending on which speedtester i use, Although speedtester.bt.com reckons i'm at 24mb.. 
In all honesty, the connection seems no quicker than my old 1mb connection.
So................    What tomorrow, will it slow down more, drop out completely ? who knows, i suppose thats the gamble now i've joined BT
I foresee a LOT of very unhappy Infinity customers will be moving away again if BT don't change something

No i'm not directly complaining about getting 24mb or even 15mb, especially after 5 years suffering a connection that barely reached 1mb on a good day, ALTHOUGH it would be nice to receive the speed i had been told i would receive CONSTANTLY and RELIABLY....
What i am complaining about is that the speed i am receiving wether it be 14 or 40 is not any better than my old 1mb connection, in fact during peak period, it is WORSE than my old 1mb.
What i am complaining about is that i signed up to a service which is suppoed to give me close to 40mb speeds and be UNLIMITED, but what i receive is a speed that is slower than advertised, is throttled so heavily it's almost unuseable during peak periods, and currently has a 300gb cap !!!
So......  are you seriously telling me to shut up for excersing my right to complain about receiving something other than what i thought i was paying for,
If you went to the shop and bought 40 pints of milk, then got home to find you had only been given 24... would you complain ? damm right you would, and i defy anyone to say different, but what if you then found that 23 out of those 24 pints of milk were off and only one was useable ? Sound familiar ? YES i may have 24mb and sometimes even get almost 40mb, but get to use only a fraction of it because of BT's idea of trafficking.
Naturally like most NORMAL people i did not read the miniscule small print, i fell for the sales patter and jumped in with both feet, So ok i'll admit i was a twit and i suppose i got exactly what i signed up for, But thats exactly what they rely on, i guess the vast majority of customers will NEVER read the small print, because if they did, nobody in thier right mind would sign up for such a service.
I want to use my internet like other normal people in the evening when i come home from work and at the weekend when i'm also not at work, I do NOT want to use it in the middle of the night either, So why the **bleep** is it limited at these exact times when normal people actually want to use it...

  • Can someone pls. Tell me how long it would take to have the iPad up and running from removing the plastic on the box?

    Can someone pls. Tell me how long it would take to have the iPad up and running from removing the plastic on the box?

    Upon applying for Telstra contract, salesman filled out all details & I was approved immed.  He grabbed a new iPad 2 from the store's stock, all plastic wrapped, a white 32 gb.  He then asked me if I needed to go and do some shopping as he had mucked something up and had to redo application.  Everything had been completed and approved on screen, so I wasn't sure why he had asked me to come back in half an hour.  I did so, and upon arriving back he was standing at the desk, iPad in hand together with receipt and box, no evidence of shrink wrap.  As I already had bought a red cover, he basically grabbed that and slipped the iPad straight into it, without really asking me, and said, all ready to go.  Was a bit surprised but accepted that.  Did not see it being unwrapped, sim inserted or anything.  Thought it to be odd, and without any further advice, was handed bag, box and receipt.  Got home, thought it looked a bit fingerprinty, then wondered why it was basically set up ready to go.  He knew I was a gadget freak, owning 25 wifi related devices, but had never bought apple products so he said I'd have no problems.  There was virtually no set up to go through except for asking if I had an apple ID which I didn't so I created that and away I went.  I was looking through the settings a bit later and noticed the ITunes said to sync back with WILLS-MSI when it was available.  WILLS is the name of the store.  There was a 32 gb white iPad 2 as a display model and now I am seriously wondering if he has taken that off the shelf and given to me.  I have never in my life bought a display model and never would.  From my description do you think I may be right? ( even the silver back looked 'not quite new').
    OPINIONS appreciated, is there anyway of checking to see if a reset has been done as I am not at all happy & will be going straight to store manager on opening of store.

  • I have to get my 13 in macbook pro with retina display fixed because of an internal crack and I was wondering how long it will take to repair the screen.

    Since I have to get it fixed and I'm a college student and need my laptop asap, I just want to know how long it will take for my screen to get fixed so I can go back to doing my work.

    No one here could possibly know... you'll have to take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP to even begin to get an idea as to how much time it could take to fix your machine.
    I had to wait 10 days just to get fans replaced on my old MacBook Pro...

  • So I lost my Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD and had to get it replaced with an LG Lucid 2. I was wondering when I could possibly upgrade to a newer Motorola and if so, how long that would take.

    This is a question concerning eligibility for upgrades with replacement phones for a lost phone.

        Hi nchiajoe
    I would be happy to help! Was there any issues with your LG? You can see your upgrade date by dialing #UPG to check. To get a new device sooner check this link: http://vz.to/ZILXBT

  • Ordered a laptop inside a store. Wondering how long it'll take.

    So basically, just went into the store on the 24th and ordered an MSi GS60 that had to be ordered and shipped. Chose for it to be picked up in store. I got a sheet of paper and reciept that says "fulfillment date 07/04/14" so I'm guessing it's going to be there at that date. I was wondering if there was any way of tracking the package or anything like that but I saw no way to.

    Greetings Nannersforscale, and welcome to the Best Buy forum!
    It would really depend on how the order was placed, but I would think there should be some sort of tracking number.  If you send me a private message with the below information, I will see what I can find out.  You can send a private message by clicking on the blue button within my signature.

  • Would like to ask Sony how long it would take to repair a Z3 tablet?

    It has been almost 2 weeks since I sent my Z3 tablet for repair n there is not news. It's a brand new tablet bought during the last PC show. I am very disappointed with Sony products. Think this will be the last time I'll be buying Sony products.

  • How long does it take for the online store to process your order ?

    Hi,
    I just purchased Logic Studio 9 from the online store.
    Under order status, it says "Processing".
    I was wondering how long it would take before the order goes through? Or the status atleast changes from "Processing" to "Shipping" or something...
    Can't wait for it to arrive! XD
    ☺ ♥  

    Yes I'm using Logic Studio on Lion right now. It all works fine in full 64bit Kernal and application mode. Although, none of my 3rd part plugins work. And my Novation 25SL MKII only works as a midi keyboard, its automap software does not work in Lion(yet).
    I was also going to purchase Komplet 7 and NI Maschine this weekend. But could not, as niether work in Lion yet either.
    So, if I was you, I would stick to Snow Leopard, until all the other software, hardwar and plugins are brought up to date to support Lion in 64bit mode.
    Hope that helps.

  • IPhone 4 water damage - Replacement (how long will it take?)

    If i just completely broke my iphone 4 (won't even turn on) due to water damage I understand that I can get a $199 refurbished replacement.
    I was just wondering if anyone knew how long it would take to get the replacement phone. For example, if I went into the store gave them my old phone, would I be leaving with the replacement phone that day or would they have to send it to me in the mail?
    Thanks in advance.

    If you take the iPhone to an Apple Store, then unless they happen to be out of stock on replacement units, you'll walk out with one.
    Regards.

  • HT1476 How long does it take to charge a new ipod touch?

    I just bought a new 64gb ipod touch 5th generation, and i have had it plugged in for two hours or so now...So I'm just wondering how long it will take to charge until I can use it...Everytime I unplug it to try and turn it on and set it up, it never does. Do I have to have it charging for hours upon hours to charge it for the first time.
    If anyone could help, thatd be great

    Apple does not specify any special initial charging time. I would use the iPod without charging if the indicator indicates about 50% or greater. There is no % battery on the iPod. You just have to look at the battery icon in upper right and judge the % battery.

  • How long does it take to delete an old user/administrator from my MacBook Pro?  Hours/Days?

    I just bought a new 2011 MacBook Pro and I want to give my late 2006 MacBook Pro to my niece for college.  It's in near-perfect condition.
    I'm trying to delete all of my user info and files.  I went ahead and created an account for her as an "administrator".  Then, I logged off from my account, logged in as her and then tried to delete my old account under System Settings / Accounts.
    I got as far as to remove the user account and to delete the home folder for my old user account.  Now it says "Deleting account..." under my user name.  It's been this way for about 6 hours.
    I have no way of knowing how long it takes, but does anyone know if it takes hours?  A full day?  With no status bar to indicate the deletion process, I have no way of knowing if my old computer is "stuck" or if it's actually working.  I have yet to try and stop the process for fear of screwing something up.  But if anyone has any idea how long this might take, I'd appreciate it so I can move on and do other things while this computer just "does its thing".
    Thanks!

    Cool.  Thanks for the response back.
    The late 2006 is running on OS X Lion (10.7). 
    As for the "Activity Monitor", where would I find that?  I tried to search for it...but nothing popped up.
    I did, however, "get info" on the hard drive icon and noticed that the available disc space has gotten bigger, which would indicate to me that there have been some program and file deletions during the course of the day.  In fact, when I started the process, there was only about 50Gb of disc space available.  But, it seems like that number has doubled, which indicates to me the disc space is slowly freeing up. 
    Again, it would be nice to some how know how long it would take.  Maybe this "activity monitor" is something I can find and see.

  • How long does it take for the iPad Mini to process?

    I ordered it on thursday along with headphones and the headphones already processed and shipped but the iPad mini is still processing and I was wondering how long will it take for it to process because it still hasn't billed me yet for it.

    The Apple Sptre website says iPad minis in any configuration will be available to ship in two weeks. That's usually a good estimate. The other items were available now and in stock so they shipped. The iPad mini is still in short supply and will most likely ship in two weeks as the website says.
