After much faffing around, between BT and Bulldog my ADSL connection was finally sorted last night.

All I can say at the moment is, how the hell did I ever manage before? I was getting 152kb download speed all night long!

Its Primetime 2000. Was at £29.99 if you signed up before a certain date. Now its back up to £39.99.

You get 2mb download between 6pm and 8am and the rest of the time its 512k.

Connection charge is a one off £24.99 and you can rent a static IP for £1.99 per month.

Indeed it is Primetime 2000 although I paid £58 connection charge! Have I been stiffed? lol

I'm not all that enamoured with their tech support but at the moment I'm too happy to care.

Edited to say: You haven't been stealing undies from my washing line as well as going through my bins have you P1Fanatic?

256k to be precise. Is it really maxing out? Try UK sites you know have decent bandwidth i.e. your own ftp site and see if you get the full 2mb.
