Cloud ha ha

Everything here is stored on hard drives and with a maximum upload speed of 0.364mb/s (more often than not .027mb/s) that's where it's going to stay. Already closed one part of the business down as couldn't send clients files. We did try using Royal Mail but apparently that was no faster.

All downhill

Eighteen months ago we were getting up to 4.8mbs. Trying to work last weekend it was so slow that once I got to BT speed checker (19 minutes) it was so slow that it couldn't be checked. If it goes on like this we've either got to seriously consider moving or folding the business as no matter who the provider is it won't improve with the existing infrastructure.
