Re: [Merged] 8Mb ADSL

Was Hugely excited about the 8Mbits line. Contacted Ukonline and found out I was in the Exchange Area. WHOOOHA.

BUT then

I noted after allot of emails to the Support team.

"8Mbps is the maximum download speed - although this depends on how far you are from the exchange and our contention ratio."

Now we all know that, But Thatâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s not all

"However we run port-blocking on all of our broadband services in order to maintain quality of service for all of our customers, so you will not be able to run a mail or web server. We block ports 25, 80, 8080 and 3128."

Whatâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s the use of having 8Mbps and they block all the ports!!!!!!

You however wont find this on the Website. So BEWARE.
