Please. That statement holds true in your case, but not others'. At least not true in my three months experience with P1. To say it only works when this bla bla that bla bla is not nice, as it's not true.

I had heavy downpour with lightning blew my bulbs here, the modem soaked wet and still, the speed was sustained at max speed. In fact, my house is at least 100m outside their coverage, with four 10-storey buildings blocking in front of my modem. I enjoyed max speed, and yes with intermittent up/down.

I'd say you are just a lil unlucky. With both P1 and Streamyx. Sad case indeed.

Hay stringfellow, I believe you conveyed you thought and idea clear enough. You should chill a little. It's ridiculous to highlight the exact same line again and again.
