Ive been with Flip for approximately a year now.

I joined because there wasnt a contract. I was impressed with their service and their speeds.

However the past few months have been a bit problematic. Download speeds down to just over 1mb, upload 0.10 (according to speedtest.net).

I know the above test isnt that accurate, but its easy to see Im not getting great internet when it takes an age for a website to load, or playing ps3 has me skipping across maps / timing out frequently.

There has been many occasions where the signal is lost altogether.

I contacted Flip who were helpful, and as requested, I provided as many tests as I could do. Yet I failed to hear anything back.

I am considering changing provider, but was wondering if there was an easy fix before I went down that avenue.

I dont really know what the below means, hopefully someone can shed some light on it?

Just a quick update.

After getting nowhere with the estate agent (i'm renting), I thought there was no harm in trying to fix myself.

After a bit of shopping around I ended up at The Warehouse, buying a new jack point box, modem cable & the tool for the wire for $20ish.

Low and behold it worked, and according to speednet I now have 16mb download speed!

A huge thanks to everyone on here that posted and helped with my problem.

It is hugely appreciated!
Thanks
