Fuxake. BT are the gay scum of the earth.

We already pay too much and now this!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BT Openworld has been forced to admit it is restricting the bandwidth for certain Web sites after furious customers starting compiling evidence of interference. Previously BT had categorically denied any such restrictions.

An email - sent out in response to an increasing number of complaints - reads: "In the short term we have had to impose traffic controls on particular applications & ports to ensure that our customers retain their great Internet experience."

The applications and ports are all connected with peer-to-peer applications such as Gnutella, eDonkey and Kazaa which allow users to swap files with one another. BT said: "A small percentage of customers using P2P applications use up a very large percentage of the available bandwidth". Which is no doubt true but doesn't explain why BT has previously denied all suggestions that it is restricting the service.
In the email, BT also mentions setting up a new service: "In the near future we will be launching a new service with a network configuration more suitable for particular bandwidth-hungry activities such as peer-to-peer communications, at a price that fairly reflects their usage of the network."

Which is basically saying that BT will charge people on the amount of data they download - something that goes against the very concept of unmetered telecoms and is a sad return to past form for the telecoms behemoth.

Basically they are saying:

You are paying £40 for 512kps DL but we don't want you using it!


Fuckers.:upyours: :upyours: :upyours: :upyours:

So that explains the performance of Morpheous on ADSL too.

While I agree with you that BT are indeed a bunch of greedy bastards, is it really necessary to resort to such bigoted language as "Gay Fuckers" and "gay scum"?

Yup, I gave up using P2P proggies cos they all ran like shite.

They have removed it for now according to Watchdog.

So what they are saying is:

Anytime 24/7 users: If you use the service more than a liiiitle bit then you should pay more for ADSL.

ADSL 512k users: If you use more than a liiiiitle bit of your bandwidth you should pay more for our new service.

New ADSL service users: We will probably charge you by the megabyte.

Hmm, metering by the backdoor. Gits !

Over 3 gigs a day over ntl's cable. Boy i love it:)

I exploited bt in a simular way when i had isdn, in return for my 180 pound investment, not to mention the extra line rental:p
Used to clear the max 1.3 gigs a day sometimes:)

Btw i don't understand your gripe with p2p stuff, it's the most piss poor way of getting stuff. Sure the pay by the mb totally sux and like whats been said, you may as well be paying by the min like the old days:p

The ironic thing about all of this is that you would expect Blueyonder and NTL to be the ones to employ traffic shaping, not the monolithic BTO with arguably the largest network in the country.

To be honest however, I doubt cable/ADSL companies actually expect customers to use their line 24/7 at full capacity. In actuality, for business leased lines especially, you seldom get the full amount of line speed bandwidth 24/7 - which is why many B2B ISPs charge for bandwidth as a seperate entity to the installation/cost of the line itself.

Since the vast majority of cable/ADSL customers will be using their lines "considerately" they, much like safe drivers, end up subsidising those that suck up bandwidth for extended periods of time (the bad drivers of the World) :)

Yeah me strokes NTL with a BASEBALL BAT and a couple of 100 rounds from an AK47. Those bastrads at NTL are just as bad.
My bandwidth has been going steadily downhill for the past 6 months and now it is at the stage where I can play a better game of Q3 off a 56k modem. I phoned NTL and the lazy wankers put me on hold for about 40 minutes. When I explained the problem the bloke said and I quote "Thats rather unfortunate but what do you think we can do about it". What the fuck do i think you can do about it !!!!!!!! Stinking wank breathed bastards.
Although admitedly they have done some major work in my area to try and sort the problem out althoug it has taken them nearly a year to realise that their current level of service can't keep up with demand. Greedy fascist corporate money grabing right wing tits.

Speaking of NTL, someone forwarded me an email containing some actual correspondance that was sent to NTL HQ by a disgruntled customer:

Dear Cretins,

I have been an NTL customer since 9th July 2001, when I signed up for your 3-in-one deal for cable TV, cable modem, and telephone. During this three month period I have encountered inadequacy of service which I had not previously considered possible, as well as ignorance and stupidity of monolithic proportions. Please allow me to provide specific details, so that you can either pursue your professional prerogative, and seek to rectify these difficulties - or more likely (I suspect) so that you can have some entertaining reading material as you while away the working day smoking B&H and drinking vendor-coffee on the bog in your office.

My initial installation was cancelled without warning or notice, resulting in my spending an entire Saturday sitting on my fat arse waiting for your technician to arrive. When he did not arrive at all, I spent a further 57 minutes listening to your infuriating hold music, and the even more annoying Scottish robot woman telling me to look at your helpful website.... how? I alleviated the boredom to some small degree by playing with my testicles for a few minutes - an activity at which you are no-doubt both familiar and highly adept. The rescheduled installation then took place some two weeks later, although the technician did forget to bring a number of vital tools - such as a drill-bit, and his cerebrum.

Two weeks later, my cable modem had still not arrived. After several further telephone calls (actually 15 telephone calls over 4 weeks) my modem arrived ... a total of six weeks after I had requested it, and begun to pay for it.

I estimate that the downtime of your internet servers is roughly 35%... these are usually the hours between about 6pm and midnight, Monday to Friday, and most of the useful periods over the weekend. I am still waiting for my telephone connection. I have made 9 telephone calls on my mobile to your no-help line this week, and have been unhelpfully transferred to a variety of disinterested individuals, who are it seems also highly skilled bollock jugglers. I have been informed that a telephone line is available (and someone will call me back), that no telephone line is available (and someone will call me back), that I will be transferred to someone who knows whether or not a telephone line is available (and then been cut off), that I will be transferred to someone who knows whether or not a telephone line is available (and then been redirected to an answer machine informing me that your office is closed), that I will be transferred to someone who knows whether or not a telephone line is available (and then been redirected to the irritating Scottish robot woman.... and several other variations on this theme.

Doubtless you are no-longer reading this letter, as you have at least a thousand other dissatisfied customers to ignore, and also another one of those crucially important testicle-moments to attend to. Frankly I don't care, it's far more satisfying as a customer to voice my frustrations in print than to shout them at your unending hold music.

Forgive me, therefore, if I continue.

I thought BT were ****, that they had attained the holy piss-pot of god-awful customer relations, that no-one, anywhere, ever, could be more disinterested, less helpful or more obstructive to delivering service to their customers. That's why I chose NTL, and because, well, there isn't anyone else is there?

How surprised I therefore was, when I discovered to my considerable dissatisfaction and disappointment what a useless shower of *******s you truly are. You are sputum-filled pieces of distended rectum - incompetents of the highest order. British Telecom - ****ers though they are - shine like brilliant beacons of success, in the filthy puss-filled mire of your seemingly limitless inadequacy. Suffice to say that I have now given up on my futile and foolhardy quest to receive any kind of service from you. I suggest that you do likewise, and cease any potential future attempts to extort payment from me for the services which you have so pointedly and catastrophically failed to deliver - any such activity will be greeted initially with hilarity and disbelief - although these feelings will quickly be replaced by derision, and even perhaps a small measure of bemused rage.

I enclose two small deposits, selected with great care from my cats litter tray, as an expression of my utter and complete contempt for both you, and your pointless company. I sincerely hope that they have not become dessicated during transit - they were satisfyingly moist at the time of posting, and I would feel considerable disappointment if you did not experience both their rich aroma and delicate texture. Consider them the very embodiment of my feelings towards NTL, and it's worthless employees.

Have a nice day - may it be the last in you miserable short life, you irritatingly incompetent and infuriatingly unhelpful bunch of ****s.

He sounded a tad annoyed!

I went through a similar experience recently with BT. I won't go into details, but I thought it had been sorted so you can imagine my reaction when my bill turned up on monday which includes a ficticious £272 carried forward from the previous bill. I'm not prepared to use their abysmal customer services phone line this time, I'll be writing. If I get no joy it'll be a call to oftel and then my solicitor.

That letter was written by a friend of mine, I posted it in the forum I help run way back at the beginning of October.
We know for a fact it has since been 'modified' & sent to SKY and BTOpenwoe !!
