No, he isn't around to ask. I did say I normally wouldnt post details from PMs / emails, however in this case, it was warranted.

Its not like he's asked me to keep quiet or anything, however edit my post if you feel the need.

It's never warranted to post contents of PM's on the site, by all means name your source (if your source doesn't mind it) but not post all the contents without express permission from the author of the PM.

Anyway lets not drift off-topic here...

Just had a look at your account Bill and its been left by someone who is unable to give or take rep points just yet, so it should be showing as grey and its not a red rep as such.

Lets hope his bosses feel its warranted also he could be in trouble. I certainly don't want to be around when BBK sees this.

Unless PM means Public Message instead of Private Message, then no. Don't expect any more help from this quarter if you carry on in this cavalier manner. Luckily my boss is quite forgiving.

As it happens, my information came from a chance conversation with the same gentleman Kneebs has been talking to, so that's circular intelligence backing itself up - in fact I suggested he talk to Bill C whose opinion I trust. Still want to see some more evidence, but I have perfect licence to stop helping in my spare time if people bruit my private conversations about and devote my attention to what I mainly get paid to do.

1st 128K took 1812 ms = 72336 Bytes/sec = approx 602 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 1829 ms = 71663 Bytes/sec = approx 596 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 1937 ms = 67668 Bytes/sec = approx 563 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 1703 ms = 76965 Bytes/sec = approx 640 kbits/sec

Looks like NTL are going to wait until the 31st August before they update my SACM 600K to 750K.... Does anyone know if it is to do with me having bought my SACM and then getting a discounted rate for my service...??
