And that is only some of it. After several e-mails to them (which only received an automated response) and a few phone calls (to no avail) I am now considering them to be almost as bad as Eircon (almost). Ping times in Online Games have also gone from 50/60 to 130/680. Download speeds has dropped to 7/maybe 11kps at times and tonight is the first time I have ever gotten this sorth of responce from LMBB in the last 3 months: 02/06/2006 00:38 487 kbps (61 KB/s) 135 kbps (17 KB/s) 98 % 75 ms 56 ms. However you are right it is a godsend to anyone one of us that is living in the sticks, when it does work properly.
