Bare in mind everything is twice as expensive here, but the salaries are around 2 - 3x better too

Re: The ultimate cure for STM

Use the Virgin Media newsgroups, news.virginmedia.com.
You might also want to just use print screen button and Windows Paint to avoid that unregistered blurb

You have no proof he is stealing the bandwidth. He might very well be paying for all of those modems and their subscriptions. You can't request he be banned on that basis with absolutely no proof.
I think its great that he has the guts to come on here if he's stealing it to be honest, even if I don't agree with it. It just goes to show how little Virgin are doing to stop this sort of abuse, doesn't it?

Re: The ultimate cure for STM
i dont pay for them all
theres 5 of us that all have ntl
4 of us are gamers and pc nuts and we decided too set it up between us
one night of a beer fingered it would be a crack as between us when had a lot of old gear we could bash together to make a nice rack
as I had the most know how its me that ended setting it up.
no 5 just aint a clue but as were we all thort it was a good idear he wanted in as well
when we was talking
biggest advantages for us is email privacy we all like movies file server makes a nice dump for movies
every one can share
and 4 can have a ball gamming
and no 5 starting to hit the games to
so we pay no more than you do for one connection each
but were basically donating our unused bandwidth to everyone else so we can do more jointly
were not fully setup still need to so servers

Re: The ultimate cure for STM
So, just RDP'd into one of my work machines, and tried a quick download.
Wish I had phatpipe at home
Just thought... bonding pipes like that doesn't get you download across all the connections, unless you're using something BitTorrent, which will use multiple connections to download. I.e. downloading some stuff via HTTP or FTP would not be able to be split across all the connections, as not all servers support it (admittedly, rarer these days though). Even then, they'd so connections coming from four IPs, so it'd be up to the download client to reassemble the file cleanly.
Lots of you trying to download will be fine, but using it to do uberfast downloads from say usenet, might result in no speed gain at all, unless the load balancer was clever enough to send multiple connections down multiple pipes.
I've lost track of what point I was making...

Making multiple connections throgh the balancer would surely balance them across connections? In which case, make 10 threads with Usenet client...
Balancer see's these, and sends 2 per modem...
As for HTTP Downloads, use a download manager. I use 4-8 connections depending
(Also, works connection tops out at 9MB/s, more when they enable the backup line)

Re: The ultimate cure for STM
That is a very impressive setup, if totally legit. The fact you have LAN games without using the net is more impressive, since if more customers did this, the load on VM's creaky network would be reduced.
