Trials?

Anyone taking part in the 6meg trials? They rock, and when I say rock I really mean it.

6MBPS WOW, perfect pings etc...

Re: Trials?

Aren't Trial participants normally forbidden to discuss them in public ?

Re: Trials?

JFYI, your connection speed makes almost no difference to pings ......

Re: Trials?

I wasn't told that I couldn't discuss. But that does worry me a little, basicly I have to check my connection speed & pings and whatnot every hour for 2 weeks, on 3 different programs, and in return get this upgrade. Speed is constant, very happy with it.

Bill, please don't mention the "Bloke in the Pub", he has let me down badly , I have been waiting for 10Meg since October 1st, he has had his last free pint from me.

I will be looking for a new source in the future, please PM me if you can help .
Remember, the drinks are on me.

Anyway, enough of the "Bloke in the Pub", now what's all this about 4meg, 5meg, 7meg and 8meg.

Re: Trials?

Its a very interesting pub! (Just round the corner from Tiger Tiger in Glasgow.) Rumour has it that NTL are also trialing 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 & 15mb connections. Come on guys give it a rest. 10mb will be here soon enough and I guarantee it wont disappoint. I have it on good authority from my mates that work at Maxwell Road.

I will buy a memo, but for how much? I can get them on EBay for a tenner.

(Pay Day & Red Wine Night)
For those that are thinking I am talking nonsense.......
