finally got my 2mbit connection from central point sorted, the details were sent out earlier then the line was activated hence my router problems :erm:

but all is well, 5 out of 5 for tech support 2 call backs from them, and there CS gets 4 out of 5 reliable and helpful, now to cancel my NTL :D

Re: made the jump
 

So what's the performance like?

Re: made the jump
 

browsing is slightly faster then the 1mbit service with NTL, good download speed 210kb/s im just going to tweak things a little to optimize my download and browsing speeds *likes to tweak his registry :pp

just rang NTL and i told them why i want to cancel, then i got put through to the relavent department, the person in CS relations asked about the service cost speed etc from my new provider he said hes never heard of them :pp , and said 30 days notice and thats it.

Whats the upload speed?

Re: made the jump
 

its spot on 30kb/s to be honest it doesent bother me, upload is a limited commodity........

Re: made the jump
 

Shock !!!!

I have just been round to a m8's from work..... He has the 2mb 20:1 business service from pipex....

Uploading at around 46kb and downloading at about 245kb :Yikes:

This is the service that I am going to get when I move. He is about a mile from the exchange and I will be nearly next door :D

Wonder what I will get ????

Cant wait - cant wait - cant wait :)

Re: made the jump
 

lol, im not paying business prices......... whats the point a few extra kb/s and a huge price hike ?

Re: made the jump
 

He does not care as work pay for it......

I will have to pay for my own sadly but its well worth it for me !!!

Its the relyability thats most important for me becouse of the type of work I do...

Re: made the jump
 

Whats your MTU set at?

Re: made the jump
 

1500, although im going to tweak stuff later on, slight latency on page loading on certain sites, im on the old NTL settings obviously i will have to change them.

Re: made the jump
 

yup
try 1492

You can check it using the speed guide tcp/ip analyser found in my post here (which is steadly slipping down the viewing order again)

Re: made the jump
 

How much is it?

Re: made the jump
 

Its gonna work out just over £100.00 a month... Less than I was paying NTL. I dont mind paying for a good service and its money well spent IMHO.

Re: made the jump
 

Hmmmm....don't think I could get Mandy to agree to it here :shrug: :D

Re: made the jump
 

Why not :shrug: by the amount of posts you have you could tell her that you practicly own the site anyway ;)
And if she doe's put her foot down to hard who better to turn to :pp

It is a lot of money tho' I wonder hown much we will get charged as Jo public for 10Mb and more, when we get it :erm:
