Entanet does not deal directly with the public but works through
resellers.

I first realised there was a problem when the ssh connection to my PC -
on an Entanet account - slowed to a crawl and I was getting a high
packet loss figure:

Host Loss% Snt Last Avg Best Wrst
1. 192.168.1.1 0.0% 109 0.4 0.4 0.4 0.9
2. lns1.dsl.enta.net 13.9% 109 31.3 32.7 29.9 41.3

9. ftip002631776.mspstart2.ealing.f 10.2% 108 45.0 66.4 37.6 210.9

Note the "bad boy pipe" lns1.dsl.enta.net. As a point of reference my
tariff allows for 30GB off-peak. With five days of this month left I
have only used 8GB so far yet I appear to have had my connection
degraded this morning.

I am not impressed. Especially upsetting is that changes which degrade
the quality of service I am receiving from Entanet are never announced
voluntarily but have to dragged out of them by experienced users
spotting the effects.
