i know they don't have a news server .. but does it stop you connecting to another .. also how does it fare with p2p?? (torrent & emule type affairs)?

thanks in advance ...

They are presumably blocking outbound, not inbound traffic on those ports, as they are the ones used for web pages and email. If they stopped you accessing other servers on those ports your service wouldn't work at all. The other way round, it looks like they're simply preventing you from running a web or mail server from your home.

You must be dreaming, because that's not going to happen here in the real world.

Re: Ukonline 22mbit!

where do newsgroups fit into all this?

USENET downloads are most handy ... do they work??

30meg - not much call for that though other than VOD type of useage.

Re: Ukonline 22mbit!

i think the MAX we can get through cable as in speeds is 30/50mb...cant remember, but it is one of them 2, so i dont think ntl will be doing 30mb this year... then they have nothing to upgrade to!

Re: Ukonline 22mbit!

50meg if I am right is more then the current ubr's total capacity per channel so not possible on current tech. (I think)
