Slow Broadband
I have changed from one absolutely useless internet provider (Post Office), only to find the one i switched to (Sky) is equally bad, to be honest far worse.
At least the Post Office was generally on/providing a service, slow but on., Now contrary to skys claims, it's very,very slow, Sky's own speed test says so, to the point it's hardly worth using, a technician came, and came to a staggering conclusion, that my equipment was too old, unfortunately for him it is less than a year old, i'm guessing he's getting a lot bad comments from many, many more disgruntled customers than just me.
I am now changing provider as to avoid anymore damaged equipment due to partially?dowloaded system updates, bad files etc.

Re: Slow Broadband
Switching between Openreach-based ISPs while keeping the same broadband connectivity type can achieve almost nothing because the data bearing circuit to the address remains the same. It's moving technology (particularly ADSL to FTTC or FTTC to FTTP) which changes things.
