Not sure if I mentioned, I "upgraded" my EE, just to save a tenner a month, downside was I got the EETV box, which I don't need. My connection speed just went down hill, buffering when streaming TV. Rang them, pointed out how crap it was, insisted on something changing, abruptly explained why the wires had to change sockets, removing from the open reach box on the wall, stating what a waste of money they've made it. The Tech then said 'you do realise you're on ADSL...

Hits hit the news this morning stating they've failed the plan to make so much of th network faster?
