The BT Broadband Accelerator service offers to investigate reasons for a slow connection, including tweaks to the performance of a PC, as well as more complex problems such as rewiring sockets or improving the general wiring in the home.
It promises to boost broadband by at least 0.5Mbps with the promise of a refund if that is not achieved.
The service will be offered by BT's Home IT Support service, which sends engineers to peoples' homes to sort out technical issues.
Speed, and the lack of it, remains an extremely hot topic among consumers.
The subject attracted more comment on the BBC's website than any other in its history when it was discussed last week.
Many consumers are disappointed that services promising speeds of up to 8Mbps are falling far short of this.
MY QUESTION IS WOULD THIS SORT OF SERVICE IMPROVE BROADBAND SPEEDS IN JAMAICA AND IMPROVE GENERAL NETWORK TRAFFIC?
Post your thoughts.
