Is it possible to get an upload speed increase if I pay a little extra?

200Kbps is not enough when I run a HTTP and FTP server. 512Kbps would be more suitable.

Soon (January) you will be able to upgrade to 10MBit/s which comes with an upload speed of 512kbit/s for free anyway...

You just need to be patient :)

I know but I intend to download a lot so it would be nice to have the unlimited usage rather than 75gb. I was just wondering if I could pay for an increase on my 2Mbps service or not.

I don't believe you can do that. Although I am prepared to be corrected.

OK thanks for the replies. Ill ring CS next week when I get chance. Im having huge problems with my server at the moment. My new motherboard and cpu I bought just 2 days ago has given up the ghost so that has to go back.

Now Im using a Slot 1 P3 500MHz SCSI server *ugh*

Bad day for me. :(

Windows 2000 would be a better choice of OS on that Spec than Windows XP :)

Ive run Windows XP on a 200MHz PI system with 96MB RAM and it booted up faster than my fresh install of XP on my 2GHz, 512MB RAM laptop ;)

I know what im doing, leave me to it :D

PS, my friend has run it on a pre pentium 486 (33mhz) pc before with just 64MB of RAM, and it didnt do too bad.:dozey:

Are you sure? I'm not sure WinXP would run on something as low spec as that...

Re: Is it possible to get an upload speed increase if I pay a little extra?
 

I've had XP running on a 64mb machine with a p166... But I wouldn't want to repeat the experience :)

Re: Is it possible to get an upload speed increase if I pay a little extra?
 

Well it runs XP, takes about 4 mins to boot up but it works. Its a little slow when it comes to actually doing stuff with it.

At least we proved it could be done.

Re: Is it possible to get an upload speed increase if I pay a little extra?
 

yes its definatly possible... ran it on a p2 233mhz laptop with 96mb ram before.

Re: Is it possible to get an upload speed increase if I pay a little extra?
 

i ran XP on a celeron after taking all but 32MB of ram out by mistake once... worked, but booting took 15-20 mins! :erm:

the usable minimum for XP is usually quoted as 128MB, IIRC...

Re: Is it possible to get an upload speed increase if I pay a little extra?
 

The box says minimum 64MB but recommended is 128MB.

Also, minimum 233MHz, but recommended 500MHz. This is on an XP Home box. I run professional but have lost the box. :mad:

Annnnnyway back on the topic (title), no, it doesn't work like that and you won't get a tailored upgrade like that.

Re: Is it possible to get an upload speed increase if I pay a little extra?
 

No. The 2 meg will remain at 200K upload. The only way to get more will be to switch to the 10M/512K service, which btw will not have a 75GB cap unless you pay £37.99 (£34.99 in 2006). The cap will be lower (30GB I believe).
