When you report this to SLT, what they do is send their team whod download a file from the SLT site which downloads at high speed since its internal and state there is no issues with the line, its a problem with the site we are downloading from and bugger off..... <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/angry.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":angry:" title="Angry    :angry:" data-shortname=":angry:" /> Seems like upgrading to the 1MB line is just a pure waste of cash, as SLT clearly does not have the trunk speed to support their customers, crap indeed.In case fellow 1MB users are not having these problems, please do respond so that i know its a problem only with my connection.</blockquote>
