Email and 1mbit line

[br3ach]

You banned moony, yet this whole thread is complete nonsense ...

Suspended for saying he didnt understand the question, what next?

He has helped in a huge amount of threads on this site and then gets banned for his "strange" approach to wording his posts occasionally :/

There are worse posts on this thread than his but hey, I suppose the mods have the final say ...

I don't normally disagree with admins/mods in public. I don't see Mr Moony's initial response warranting a suspension.

Maybe one of the admins/mods having a bad day.

Just my 2 pence worth.

weird though , i checked back through his posts and i didnt see anything really off , oh well maybe we should just keep on speculating until a mod decides to clear it up

I hope that is not the only reason why - or someone has lost the plot.

The first post in this thread made very little sense whatsoever and Mr Moony quite rightly pointed this out. If this is the reason he is suspended then we had all better get ready for our suspensions.

I'd speculate that some choice words have been sent by PM between him and the Mods.

I dont think that we will be told. Truth is its none of our business !

I have had my moments with him myself (being as he works for the enemy ) but he is allways happy to help users. It does not sound
like him at all

I think we are best going with what Keyser has said as speculation can quickly get out of hand.

If the admins/mods don't want to reveal the reasons, they don't have to, after all the board doesn't belong to us.

I run a board myself, I would only give out reasons if it is in the best interest of the board.

I know exactly why the ban was put on him, and I still dont think it warrants him being banned from providing the help he gives.

Your final say I suppose Keyser, but the words "Lighten Up" come to mind...

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 ??

I wrote this as I at the time had two problem - Email and the speed of my Line. I was trying to explain that I rang support help line to see what was happened to my mail as people were getting bounced emails from NTL side and these were mails for my job - thus costing me money (as in delay for payments). What I was basically saying was in the end I ended off Buying a Domain name with email so that i would get mail through - which it has been ever since.

My Second part of the post was my speed of the 1mbit line - I Understand that you do not get the full speed every single time because of the way the web works - as in were your getting stuff from might be slow and so forth. It was overall Slow - on bandwidth testers etc all claimed I had a 600K line and sometimes 700 - not 1mbit.

Since writing this post - my speeds have now gone back to full speed - so probably some work has been done to spread the load more.

I have re-read my very first post and cannot see which part people did not understand - when the first reply came as stated it annoyed me - why - no idea - would have been better maybe to word it as "Could you please expand on your problem as I do not understand what the problem is" for exmaple.

Reading through this thread and only a couple of people asked me questions about my problem - the rest told me to sort my attitude out.

If the problem is at my end - then i am more than capable of sorting this out - my job is computer related - i do not know everything - no one can do but quite technical as it goes. I am sorry I came across as a "Know it all" - not the sort of person I am in Real Life.

fair play to you my mate , if i upset you then it wasnt intended , it sounds as though you have had a **** load of problems , the only thing i would take issue with is , why were you relying on a residential service for your work , ok so i suppose it would be cheaper , but ........... you only get what you pay for dont you , if you want an uninterrupted service then you have to pay lots more for it , and no , i am not trying to inflame the situation -------- paul

Not so much work Paul - just emailing timesheets to my client and awaiting auth copies back - noramlly everything is done though post - this is why i had to switch to a service for email which had some sort of backup for problems.

I did try some time back to get the Business NTL Cable line but was told i was not a business even though im self employed. I dont expect by the way for ADSL to be any better - im sure there is a few out there who have had it / got it and hate it even more than Cable for example.

Since Ive had cable Ive been fairly trouble free for the best part of 4 years -its only of late (probabaly overloaded UBR's maybe) that the Quality is slipping downhill and ADSL is starting now to look a little bit more of a option.

Ive already voted with my Wallet on the rest of the NTL service - I reverted back to SKY and BT as it goes some time back and from experience had no problems at all since with the service on that front.

To me ADSL is getting faster / cheaper - I wanted for exmaple a 2mbit line / 256 Upload or another soloution which I thought was a good idea was what Bulldog are doing - Off Peak you get a lot faster speeds - as your sharing the business Bandwidth which im guessing goes unused off - peak. This is only available in Major towns as far as I can see though - so no chance for it to come to my part of the world.

As I say though - problem is sorted for now - I have a Email Vendor that works and my speeds have shot back up as per what im paying for. I think if the support were more informed what was going on, they could give a much better service - my loading on the UBR is now a lot less that what it was - so re-seg must have happened which would explain my speeds getting better.

I dont expect 100% of the time for my downloads etc to be full speed but you can understand that 100% of the time (when the fault was there) I was getting the very same speed on everything i tested as 600K line.

Many thanks for all your help to everybody that replied and sorry that this got off on a wrong footing - Ill will try and explain in a lot more detail next time with test results etc....

[paulyoung666]

good on you for explaining the problem , like i said no harm intended , we are all in this together
