Broadband firm says sorry for congestion

Broadband provider Fast4 has apologised to consumers for recent drops in surfing speeds amid congestion problems.
According to the firm's chief executive officer Steve Kaye, congestion issues have arisen because the firm's wholesale supplier has reached a congestion limit on one of its asymmetric digital subscriber lines, reports ISPReview.co.uk.
The two firms are now discussing what can be done to rectify the problem and Fast4 has said that it will release any further updates when agreements have been reached.
