Is it me or are the companies deliberately slowing up their 56k connections to force people to buy broad band? My connection with Virgin.net has deteriorated over the last few months to such a degree that I do not even bother to log on at peak evening times as it takes forever to download web pages. :mad:
I have been on a couple of other sites where peeps have complained at the performance of ISPs and also a couple of friends have been forced to change due to worsening connection speeds. I only got BB capability in my village at the beginning of this month so have yet to organise a supplier but due to the current problem broad band looks to be the only alternative!:mad: When I first got my PC and used the net, my 56k modem was perfectly adequate for browsing the internet but now the connections are so poor it just gets frustrating. :rant:
