Ping 20mg+, no lag for online gaming :wink:
+I have mates rate deal  :cool:

Great service when working, customer service can be a nightmare, its in Chenai and I found the langauge barrier a nightmare when the staff had not been able to repeat an off the card answer.
Best service out there imo

internet = great, better than any other provider, but still my 10mb goes to less than 1mb at peak times, but still not as bad as others
tv = decent, but the box really lags and the catch up service is very slow to update, sometimes doesnt even work at all
phone = not the cheapest
mobile = an absolute joke, really dont even consider this

there customer support is usually crap, ring up about a prob and you usually get a person who has no idea and just reads off a list and speaks broken english, however last time i rang i got someone who sounded like he REALLY knew his stuff and was so helpful, so this may have changed

if you do get it then keep an eye on the prices they charge, they go up quite a bit without noticing (mines went from 25 to over 50 within 2 year!) but i just rang up and said im gonna leave cos its gettin expensive and they reduced it

On 50mb internet and tv deal in my current house.

Hate to go against the grain but hate it. The box has been replaced twice, usually goes to 'local only' meaning it has to be reset (times we have to do this varies - sometimes it's daily, sometimes it's every sodding 10 minutes). Internet is usually pretty slow but tolerable.

Tv is ok but the remote we got sent had been chewed  :undecided: (obviously not a new one)

Phone we have but never gets used so can't comment on that.

Customer service is shocking. Won't go into details as it's a long and boring story.

I'll be avoiding using them again when I move out at the end of the month. Problems might be just the area as it's heavily populated with students and demand is heavy, however I've not been impressed with them.

i had that with the internet too, but its the wireless router they give out, i replaced it with a better one and have had no problems since

my remote was second hand too
