What's your Broadband Speed?

[fudgeflaps]

Your computer is bluffing- it wants to charm you into not force-feeding it Vista.

Be nice to it, the wee fella doesn't know any different from xp.

!sad!

i was charmed...135 mb video downloaded in about 20seconds when i was expecting it to take 6 hours...barely got to the toilet before I heard the complete beep

If 10mbs is a slow down speed when my best isn't meant to exceed 8mb
then i best get that limit done in the next hour to increase my speedown

With 256mb of RAM I won't be feeding it vista ever unless I want the performance of space invaders atari style '

ok thanks anyway jacques,ive got a netgear d834g wireless modem router so maybe id be better leaving things as standard you reckon

[Trumpton]

I'm with BT and I'm supposed to have up to a 6MB connection, but that never happens. It usually runs at about 2MB at the most.

I'm not on an unlimited download, my package is limited to 5GB total per month.

[Sam Slater]

How much are you paying for that, Trumpy?

[Trumpton]

I'm paying GBP20 per month for that Sam.

[Jacques]

Christ!!! I pay ?18 for 24mb unlimited

[Jacques]

There are all sorts of things that can affect your speed, length from exchange, quality of copper, signal to noise ratio etc.

One of the best things to do is to get one of the new BT Faceplates which does away with the need for a filter.

[Trumpton]

Yup, BT is expensive I know. I'll be changing my ISP in the new year.

[Sam Slater]

I should think so. BT are cunts.
