8 September, 2006 at 3:02 am #236441what you are paying for is an up to 8 meg service, this means the speed you get can be anything up to 8 meg, but it isnt guarenteed that will be your actual speed.

i understand that, but still its unfair to pay extra for a service that you’re not getting isn’t it ? and if my pc can take a higher upload/ download speed surely that means its my service providers problem ?
ps; how do u pronounce ur name, and where did you get it from please ??!! its sounds gaelic is all and i wondered if it meant anything !

unfortunately your isp states that it is an up to 8meg service, so you are paying for exactly what they say you are paying for, download speeds of up to 8meg. nowt you can do about it. it could also be that your modem isnt capable of recieving those speeds. not all modems can cope with higher bandwidth. its all very well upgrading your service, but if you dont upgrade your modem as well you may as well not have bothered.
as for my name, its taken from a michael moorco.ck book.
