Just tested my 2 GB down load and 256 k up load at 890 Kbps down load and 320k up load.

Ripped off!!! Telescum say it is because I am 4km's from exchange and that 5kms from an exchange is extreme limit for broad band.

When it was installed 18 months ago it was max speed of 2GB, Telescum say once again "a lot of noise has developed on that line from additional sub divisions (new houses) and users" and that is affecting my speed.

I asked for a 50% discount and they offered a splitter to bring my speed back up to 1.5 GB at a charge of $149.00 with no promises. Telescum got told to F off and I have a splitter being installed Wednesday for nix.

Might look at Vodafone 3G mobile for the lap top now. Ditch the land line all together.
