i know they don't have a news server .. but does it stop you connecting to another .. also how does it fare with p2p?? (torrent & emule type affairs)?

thanks in advance ...

They are presumably blocking outbound, not inbound traffic on those ports, as they are the ones used for web pages and email. If they stopped you accessing other servers on those ports your service wouldn't work at all. The other way round, it looks like they're simply preventing you from running a web or mail server from your home.

You must be dreaming, because that's not going to happen here in the real world.

He was not dreaming, he definetly "read" what he says, I wrote that stuff to him in a pm

I think slowcoach has been starting the romours about ntl 20mbit+ speeds in 2006.

where do newsgroups fit into all this?

USENET downloads are most handy ... do they work??

Gotta love the 'grapevine'.

30Mbit over cable roflmao

30meg - not much call for that though other than VOD type of useage.

omg... if it was up to some people we'd still be on dialup! lol

well tech line today dropped my line to 11megs and they gradually going to bring it up see what point the line starts to get unstable :/ hopefully it will be 14meg at least heh :S well see

id still be happy with 11meg though dl speeds on that r good

dcclanuk · 14-01-2006, 22:23

i think the MAX we can get through cable as in speeds is 30/50mb...cant remember, but it is one of them 2, so i dont think ntl will be doing 30mb this year... then they have nothing to upgrade to!

50meg if I am right is more then the current ubr's total capacity per channel so not possible on current tech. (I think)
