    O2 Broadband - Current Issue in Lancashire

    Just incase anyone is getting slow download speeds, there is a known issue in the North West and particularly in Lancashire.

    I don't know if this will also be the same for BE as well.

    Look's like it's a little more than Lancs judging by that snippet of news

    I've not noticed any difficulties; on 4.5MBps down, 1.1MBps up (crap lines around me + 2 miles from exchange). I downloaded a distro of linux the other night got a steady 400Kb/s, which is about normal for my connection.

    Re: O2 Broadband - Current Issue in Lancashire

    We've been having a TON of disconnects in the middle of L4D games... but having browsed their forums it seems there's an easy fix for that, and after having tested it for 20 mins it seems to be fixed...
    Apart from that we're all good

    Few drop outs on the PS3 and some slow downs over the past few days. Getting decent speeds at the moment though.
