Email and 1mbit line

I am so sick of my emails bouncing back to the people who send them and mine not getting out along with a long history of email just not working that i forked out more money to buy a domain with email and it works 100% unlike NTL - I ran support but they could not help me in any way - which came as no suprise. They said there is no emails in your inbox - i said i know that - becuasr there not getting there in the damm first place.

I upgraded to 1mbit line and got to say the speed are between the 600k service and the 1mbit sometimes but cannot go back for another month now. Maybe its time to switch to ADSL - look at it this way - it cannot get any worse can it?

Anybody else found this when they upgrade to 1mbit ??

Re: Email and 1mbit line

Ok i had teo issues - One was the email - thats crap - we all know that - why is it crap? nobody else is having the problems and they churn through billions of email as well?

My Second issue in case you never understood - I was on 600k Service - runs fine - get full speed on everything. I upgraded to 1 mbit / 256 - faster right? Not so - i still get the same sort of speeds most of the time on downloads and NOW AND THEN get faster - I should be getting close to 1mbit or 120K/sec not 60k/sec with bursts now and then should i?

I know what your going to type - depends on where im downloading from - I have tried FTP to UK, download managers (so i get full speed regardless) and all other tricks - been with NTL BB for 4 years Plus now - so i know what it used to be like on 1 mbit...

Do you understand now?

Well I used to be very active when it was NTHellworld.com for exmaple and on all the time with the IRC channel - I seen the reply of "I read that and never understood" and thought "what the hell" - so any MOD please close this thread - becuase i can see i wont be getting any help - about the same as rining cable modem support as they dont know what the hell the problem is either - so im pretty stuffed as far as i can see.

I checked my UBR and its not even loaded heavily so where the problem lies is no-mans land. I have two choices - i downgrade to 600K service (which will take me 3 weeks now) or switch to ADSL - again stuck with NTl for the duration of the month no matter which way i look at it.

You catch more flies with honey than a giant hammer of doom.

Perhaps tell us more about your setup. What Operating system are you running ? What Modem do you have ? USB or Enet ? What sort of download speeds do you get ?
