K Ive had a new line in for ages now, and ive just used an extra string to allow me to view DCE instead of DTE (at last) but ive been online for about 12 hours today at 48,000 but now i just reconnected whilst someone else was using the other line, but only got a conn of 46,667 This isnt a huge difference, but in my eyes it is notable, Could this be because i was fobbed off with a DACS, or maybe i am just being a little cautious.
But if i recieve any indications that this is a DACS line i will take great pride in calling them up and telling them to take the line out.
Im now wondering if it is possible that this would be actionable, If you are given assurances that DACS WILL NOT be installed, would you be able to threaten them with Legal Action??

I think its fairly safe to say that you haven't got a DACs line. If you had, the best connection speed you could get out of it is around 30000bps, while the average is around 28000bps according to other posts on this page

I have DACS. Mine would only ever connect at 24000bps :( So I called BT and complained. Now I get a whopping 26400bps :)

Well I'm not exactly happy with that (especially since I have to pay the same as everyone else) so I'm getting Home Highway and ISDN http://forums.gameplay.com/ubb/shades.gif It means I gotta pay a fortune :( and removes my excuse for poor scores :(, but I must have a better connection :p

My DACS line gave me a connection speed of 33.6kbps. So I got it replaced :)

You only connect at 26.4kbps?
Get a new line cos when you think about it your paying the same as everyone else and getting less for it.
