Reply:I find your statement interesting-I'm with them also for 2yrs @ 1Mb but the real speed is closer to .2/.3 Mb,but I've been told that I'm limited by my distance from local enabled exchange(approx 3kms from Blarney,Co Cork)-I'm also getting fed up with the frequent router breakdowns(Voyager 210 ADSL)-I can't really download any slow processes like movies overnight-as usual,the router needs rebooting when I check in the morning with little if any overnight downloading done!I'm not technically knowledgable enough to challenge anything they say in reply to my queries,and,in fact,this is part of my reason for participating in this forum-to check out if they are snowballing me or what!-Alan
