Your Connection Speed!
Hey everyone just wonder if any country has such an expensive and slow connection as ours. Please write here as in the example:
(Example is mine)

Country: Turkey
Provider: Turk Telekom
Type: ADSL
Price: 35$/Month
Any Limit: No
Download Speed: 256 kpbs
Upload Speed: 64 kpbs
Max Download Speed: 34kb/s
Max Upload Speed: 8kb/s
Satisfied: Of Course No! We have the most expensive connection in the world.

Just to you guys moving to talktalk, the only thing I hate are when you should get a 404 error etc.
You don't, you get redirected to talktalk offering loads of sponsored links and a search box that only works in IE.
I phoned them and the woman didn’t know what she was on about, and I emailed them and they said it cannot be removed.
But I have filed a complaint and we will see what happens.
