We pay British Telecom £900 per year for broadband. This evening I can't even open a page on the internet
Our Church and State website has no less than 57 Nobel Laureates on it; for details, see this blog's sidebar under "Church and State" (updated today).
In re Internet connection speeds
Paragraph 41 of Declan's updated complaint to the United Nations under Article 19 (freedom of expression) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
41. In October 2017, SiteGround's solicitors told the Applicant to remove a popular article from the Church and State website for alleged copyright infringement or the site would be disabled pending his legal challenge by counter notice. The Applicant's wife removed the article even though it had a Creative Commons licence applied to it, as do all Addicting Info articles. Her Church and State blog has been attacked in various ways over the years: links have been broken and images exchanged, deleted or temporarily removed. So too have the Applicant and his wife's laptops. For example, in December 2015, an attack on the Applicant's wife's web browsers prevented her from using her laptop to publish material on the Church and State website. She could not create a WordPress post, add images, or click on most of the platform's buttons. She had posted a video of the attack on her blog before the browsers were returned to normal functioning the following afternoon. The Applicant pays British Telecom £900 per year for Superfast Fibre 2 Unlimited broadband with an average advertised speed of 67Mbps. Nonetheless, since September 2017, the internet connection speed on either his or his wife's laptop has been reduced from anything between 1-74Mbps, frequently rendering it almost impossible to open a web page or send an email on the targeted laptop. Since 26 May 2017, their internet connection has been cut 326 recorded times lasting for as long as 3 1/4 hours at a time. And the bandwidth on their second BT YouView box is seldom sufficient for TV or Prime Video viewing irrespective of their laptop internet connection speeds. (Because of this, their TV usually operates off the TV aerial or their viewing restricted to the BBC iPlayer when all players and apps have not been disabled.) BT Executive Level Complaints has established that there is no problem with the Applicant and his wife's telephone line and has only ever been able to find fault with their own equipment.
