Maybe the monopolies commission too? I only get 19% of my expected bandwidth at best; it's usually worse than this!!! If that is the best they can do then I should only pay for the bandwidth I actually have available; therefore I should only pay 19% of my monthly subscription charges, that would be much fairer and I'm sure EVERYONE out there would agree with this? - So what can we ALL do about it NOW. We (Karoo customers) must unite and pull together as an online community otherwise our complaints will fall on deaf ears or even NO ears at all! Can anyone suggest how we might go about achieving a satisfactory result?

I've put my rather crappy bandwidth stats up there. Feel free to list your own too if you like... If you go to the top of this page, you'll see a link to that post above the title of this one.

Add onto the fact that they've also limited the download speeds on p2p/torrents/usenet, and this is clear to see it is NOT and upgrade from the old karoo 1mbit,2mbit,3mbit packages, but instead is a HUGE downgrade. We now have 4mbit download (if you're lucky), xxGB limit a month, and no usenet/torrents/p2p either. Karoo is a joke, and the sooner everyone boycotts them until they pull their finger out and start getting in-line with the rest of the uk services better. The longer people just continue to sit on their sofa and whine about it, the longer this crap will continue. Send an email to karoo and Offcom, and complain about karro's business model/customer treatment and we might actually get something done about them!
