I've had no problems with BT Broadband which I have had for about 12 years. I live in Felpham about 1.5 miles from Bognor Exchange and get good speeds, this afternoon I am getting 5.5 megs. When there has been a problem (very rare) I have had it sorted out quickly by BT. Many people who have changed to small pirate operators have regretted it especially when there is a problem, and it is murder to cancel it and they use expensive premium rate lines to report a problem.

In all these years, I can count how many times there was an outtage. Last one as in March, for no more than 40 minutes. On the other hand I want nothing to with BT and their outdated copper analog lines we have in the part of Crawley where I live - more often than not we had 1 or 2 days without connection. I overheard one of the BT engineers who come to try and sort out the problem that it was a faulty analog line and BT was playing dead. All of my neighbours have Virgin and no one wants BT - even for free.
