No doubt this will be the same "40%" of homes who already have decent broadband access. BT are the worst company I have ever encountered
- It took them so long for broadband to reach my area that I had to pay for ISDN for 2 years.
- My broadband with BT has actually decreased in speed over the 4 or so years I've had it from 2mbps down to around 1mbps on a good day when it will actually connect.
- Their customer service is beyond awful I have wasted countless hours of my life talking to their stupid Indian call center to complete idiots who try to tell me that the reason my internet has not worked for 2 days is because I need to clear my cookies.
- I was forced to give up playing games online two years ago because my ping jumps from the usual sub 50 to 300 constantly, my xbox live account barely gets used when I am home because it's impossible to play under these conditions.
I do not live in a remote area I am within 5 miles of a large city, unfortunately there are no cables laid where I live or I would most definitely switch to Virgin, I was with them for the last 3 years at my university house on their 20mb service and loved it I would consistently download from usenet at 1.6mbps. BT the worst company I have ever dealt with in my life, the only reason they are not bankrupt is because of the monopoly they hold over UK communications.
none of my friends have a 360 we're all poor students
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
