But we pay for 8mb and never get anywhere near that. Is there no equivalent of Trading Standards ?
Sorry Rimms but it's the same as the UK, you pay for up to 8mb ... an ADSL speed you are very unlikely to get anywhere near, unless you upgrade to Fibrenet, which should be available in most parts of Calis - I've been going round listening to Turk Telecom street cabinets and can hear mux noises which tells me that a number of the cabinets in the area are now served by FTTC or Fibre to the Cabinet, which can give you speeds of UP TO 100mb. TTNET brand this service under the Fibrenet service.
I'm hoping to upgrade after xmas, as my local box hums nicely!! Looking at their website what I have noticed is that TTNET are selling under their Fibrenet Brand a 20mb service (with a poor upload speed of up to 1 meg) which is more than a little cheeky as this is a standard (copper not fibre) ADSL service - well it is in the rest of the world anyway!!
Which brings me to the point I wanted to make, with all this fibre network being built and connected in the Calis area (and across Fethiye) the engineers will be taking parts or all of the broadband service down and backup again (and again), all of which disruptes service and also degrades service as it builds back up to maximum speed again for a lot of people, even if their service has already been upgraded. What I would say is they do not look as if they are doing this in any systematic manner i.e doing the work at 1am on a sunday morning and waiting until you have a group of changes to make all at once, rather than as i suspect they are doing, which is one at a time whenever it suits them to do it!! Well that's my informed guess anyway.
