absolutely bloody terrible speeds. but dont post on their forum about it. you get banned, and posts about
bad service get deleted. avoid these cowboys.

Tracing route to jolt.co.uk [82.133.85.65]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.0.1

10 183 ms * 185 ms secure.jolt.co.uk [82.133.85.65]

speedtest via dslzoneuk.net. so slow i actually thought it timed out. but after a few minutes here's the result:
139.4 Kbps
which is around 17.43 KB/s

I get 40kb/s on my mobile's gprs via UMTS. Guess what ill be using from now on.

Exactly the same here, they reckon things will improve when the new
pipe comes on stream in the next couple of days...I'm not convinced.

It strange how this ISP has changed from being one of highest rated to
one of the worst in the space of a couple of months.

What should be a user concern now is what Namsco intend to do once
said new pipes are onstream
At ndousers i see there is already a thread started by them, mentioning
the "possibility" of some form of traffic shaping
The beginning of the end i feel

I'm hanging on until the end of the month when they promised all will
be will again. Luckily I have a perfectly good 2nd ADSL connection.
