OK - Enough is enough.
So.... I rang and spoke to tech department - they admit there is a problem (ie download speeds reduce after 3-4 mins) - no known resolve date.
I say - Thanks, please put me through to customer service - I explain to CS that there is a known fault with download speeds - that I am paying for broadband pro and that as they are not delivering I want a refund - persist (even if you have to speak to a manager) - They agree to a refund.
Now I've got my refund - if you all ring, complain & insist on a refund they will take action!!!!
Do it now......

I'm amazed that you got them to admit that there's an issue. I've always been told either that they can't find an issue, or that it's my fault.

Did they refund %100 of your Broad band plan?

The tech guy acknowledged there was a speed issue when downloading & uploading(?) with no resolve date in sight - Customer Service wanted to "request a refund" which can take 5 days - I asked for a manager & insisted on the following: 80% refund of plan (September & October & November if not fixed) + carry over of my unused data (29G) + an understanding that I would move my isp if this continued for another two weeks without resolution without penalty for terminating my plan early.

If everyone does this - they must move to fix as it will start to really hurt them in the pocket.
I pointed out I was getting better speed on dialup & they were failing to provide the product as advertised..... which they are

Think I need to try it too, I'm still at the "No something is wrong with your computer and router" stage =.= They just don't want to admit that they stuffed something up

Wow, impressive response once they actually acknowledged the problem. Hope others follow your example to pressure them into sorting this.
