Anyone know Warren Buckley?
« on: January 10, 2011, 07:28:56 PM »

I have just received a 'gilt edged' invitation to become one of the 'better connected' from a Warren Buckley Managing Director of BT Customer Services. Unfortunately Mr Buckley has omitted to give me a return address to which I can either post or e'mail my reply.  I'd really like to accept his kind invitation which assures me his product is the UK's most complete broadband and that which he offers, "will have everyone talking."

That last remark is probably the most genuine statement of the whole invitation, the rest, I expect is as phony as the pseudo gilding on the invitation card itself. For if 'everyone' knew the sort of service I have received from BT Broadband these last three weeks, - (sorry three years - the former, acute and the later chronic) they would indeed be all talking. 

Now if someone could please supply me with a return address for Mr Buckley I'd like to respond and ask him how it is possible to have a Broadband connection that drops out several times a day, on most days, (but not every day##), fails to reset either automatically or by using any of the conventional BT cures**, futile visits from his engineers on four separate occasions and a fifth expected next Friday, without it resulting in the 'better connection' he is promising.

Yes, I really would like a better connection Mr Buckley so why don't you give me one. - Please!

**I find making a telephone call to someone or other is the best way to get the router to reconnect to Broadband.
## It's on the days that I get a good connection that the engineers arrange to come!

Tbh unless you have the infrastructure in place (ie fftc/ffth)then unless Mr Buckley is going to dig the roads up himself then he is talking rubbish.

No doubt millions of other customers have received his 'gilt edged' invitation

Edit,

You could always try posting your line stats on here for analysis

How to do that here. http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/frogstats.php

Thanks for your interest. I don't believe that there is anything remarkable in my stats; in fact a series of BT engineers say they are remarkably good considering the length of coper and aluminium cable between me and the Exchange. We are in fact having a good day to day with no drop outs since yesterday lunch time. The only thing that seems to change much is the Noise Margin 'Up' figure which varies between 4 and 25 dB. As you can see I'm on a slow fixed BB connection at 0.97mbps. The reason being the a complete failure to sync at any more than dial up speed back in 2007, soon after which I started posting here.  At present I'm hanging on with BT on the understanding that fibre optics reaches my local cabinet in July 2011, about 640 yards away from my home, and in the fervent hope that this will make all the difference. Virgin right outside my door 'today' though is a very tempting alternative.  Anyway here  are the stats:-

If they were right outside my door I would have Virgin cable like a shot.

I myself are at the end of a long line and I was lucky to get 1.5mb.Since my move over to O2 LLU I now sync at around 2.5mb.Do you have any LLu enabled isp's in your exchange?
