peshman now on tiscali spot on tt gave me 2.3 meg with thier software that changes to give you the fastest running speed your line will take. To my surprise when i changed over i got 4.3 meg yes it is costing more to use but not in the long run it is better

just moved isp everything fine

this will probably be my last entry on this topic BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! got new isp and everything is fine down to full use of internet functions yyyyyiiiiiipppppppeeeeeeeeee thanks for help and support through this traumatic period and wish everyone well for future downloading cheers

Hi i am now in the middle of changing isp now going to tiscali upto 8mb all they ask is that you try not to down load between 6.00pm to 11.00pm which is not a problem. i finally spoke to an expert?? ( not from bombay but from london) after canceling my broadband they seemed quite eager to help, 3 days of continuous calls before i finally spoke to them as i thought whats the point. Anyway after telling them that download was 164kbs then nothing he told me that talktalk is now set up as a browser not really for the use of downloading or streaming and said that my best bet was to change to an other supplier which he already knew i was. One comment he did make though was that if more customers started canceling then they would have to look at maybe changing their way of thinking. I also managed to cancel without paying a fee as it is free with the phone package so happy now. hope this is of help to anybody using talktalk. Anyone reading this and is thinking of going to talktalk then be warned DONT.

after 3 days of going round the world and circles finally found out what has happened. I have reached my 40gb limit for the month at first was not having any of it as only a few files about 10-15gb have been downloaded but after the person explained that the counter also counts streaming (video/television/web cams) which i have indeed been using rather a lot as i enjoy watching sports. They have informed me that all counters get reset at the end of each calender month so roll on December. So now i understand the downloading principle i can be more selective on what i do. I have however told them that if my speed does not go back up by 2nd Dec then i will cancel my line and go ahead with telling the whole world that they are ??????????? if you get my drift, so will post the results in December. Thanks for all the help on this very frustrating topic.

they told me last night that their computer automatically reduces download speed when you over do it and i must wait 45 days for it to come back to normal. Found on other forum sites that this is a breach off contract so i might be able to get out of this will post more on this as i will quiz them on how this works also expecting phone call today off one of their experts should be fun. They have also admitted throtling to a degree but will get names. They also got a bit flustered when i mentioned using forum sites to complain and threatened to put on every site i could find.

here is the latest back to normal no d/load so phone talktalk. sunday afternoon told line was ok monday got told there was a ATM Node fault lovely lady full of help did not know about pc's so when i asked if this would cause my bandwidth to disappear she went and asked, came back and said YESSSSSSSS. today still no joy on the d/load front so phone again, only to be told of no fault at all did not know what this ATM thing was then started questioning me on what torrents soft ware i was using saying they can not support p2p to this i blew up i mentioned using open office which is legal also cannot watch streamline videos or streamline football which is legal unable to see webcams that move when they finally load up they are frozen. SO threatened to cancel contract as they have not told me of any change to my line which they should do so as written in their fair share policy also threatened to write in every forum possible of how s**t a company they are by only allowing you to look at web pages and nothing else. they then told me that their expert team will be in touch within 10 day's to this my reply i cannot print they will now phone me in morning so will let you know. well feel better with that off my chest, any way is there anything else you could tell me to help get my bandwidth up if this fails. Thanks for reading

now working ok maybe complaining does work also not sure if open office has added anything to pc to allow downloads thanks alot for your help

If i phone talktalk and explain i have got open office and it doesn't download will they then turn the tap back on and should i specifically say bit torrent downloads are effected as i can download from other sites ie d/load.com and will come down normal speed 200+kbps just getting evidence before i phone and complain. legally can they do this??.
