    Hopefully I'm not the only one who was connected last week but regardless of that,what a f*cking difference!

    I was slightly cautious of the 'up to 10 times faster' promise hoping that I'd at least experience download times of about 30kb per second.

    Since account activation however I've been aghast at DL speeds of up to 70kbps and an almost constant 50kbps.

    Think I'll have a sniff around this Bittorrent thingie tonight.See how good BB really is.

    It's well grand, but these 2 days have been quite very slow, it's either because of the Christmas period or because I've gone over the cap and UTV has taken my speed down to 64kb, how can I check with UTV how much i've dled?

    There's a bandwidth monitor in your UTV account page, they haven't got it working as yet but either way, UTV won't be throttling you. If it keeps acting up get on the phone to them and whine, whine like you've never whined before!

    UTV DSL rocks for everything except pings :[
