[Forum Rules]   Page 1 Multiple Page Topic : 1 2  Back to Forum Thread List SkipRat    Posted 6th Jul 2005 11:06am Post 412 / 3024 Got a letter this morning saying how im being upgraded to 2mb adsl! Yay! Not sure how many people actually use the same isp as me... http://www.demon.net/helpdesk/producthelp/internetaccess/consumerbroadband/2mbps-upgrade/ I think its actually BT upgrading lines or something. Anyways demon are one of the best ISP's i rekon, its unlimited and ive only had about an hour of downtime in 2 years. Meh...     Garner    Posted 6th Jul 2005 1:11pm Post 1049 / 4125 Pipex did the same about 6 months ago, unfortunately our line at the time couldn't support 2Mbit so they kept us on 1Mbit and just cut our monthly price instead "Science is this extraordinary transnational, transcultural, trans-everything language which is the only way to discover Truth and its regrettable that billions are still stuck in the Middle Ages believing the crap propagated by Popes and priests..." - Peter Atkins     SkipRat    Posted 6th Jul 2005 1:14pm Post 421 / 3024 Yeah i was pretty annoyed when bt done it a while back too! But demon have finaly got round to doing it It says on my letter i might not be able to go full speed. ( not personaly me but customers in general) Due to the distance from the exchange? Im dumb when it comes to this... What exactly is the exchange? Ive got one of those massive green things full of phone cables at the end of my road, town center is literaly at the end of my road so im guessing ill be on 2mb right? Meh...     Garner    Posted 6th Jul 2005 1:26pm Post 1052 / 4125 The exchange is where all the phone lines are connected to - the green boxes are just junction boxes that form the main 'trunk' lines to the exchange. If the town center is as close as you say then in theory you should be ok... all depends on where the exchange is "Science is this extraordinary transnational, transcultural, trans-everything language which is the only way to discover Truth and its regrettable that billions are still stuck in the Middle Ages believing the crap propagated by Popes and priests..." - Peter Atkins     Lace    Posted 6th Jul 2005 1:29pm Post 391 / 1216 I just got upgraded to 5500/640 at a lower price than I paid for my old one A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.     Garner    Posted 6th Jul 2005 1:34pm Post 1053 / 4125 I'm waiting (im)patiently for the 26Mbit ADSL2 service they're begining to roll out Broom broom [edit] 24Mbit. Almost remembered it correctly http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/07/01/broadband_be/ "Science is this extraordinary transnational, transcultural, trans-everything language which is the only way to discover Truth and its regrettable that billions are still stuck in the Middle Ages believing the crap propagated by Popes and priests..." - Peter Atkins    Modified Jul 6th, 01:39pm by Garner SkipRat    Posted 6th Jul 2005 1:45pm Post 422 / 3024 Heh, that sounds good! Yeah the actual main town center of clacton on sea is about 2 mins walk from my front door probably less if you walk fast! Cant wait to get this! What download speeds should i expect? I get around 55kbs at the moment. So im guessing a couple of hundred kbs?!?! Only bad thing is i cant get faster upload speed so my ping in games will be exactly the same right? or will it improve a little bit from the faster download speed? Xbox live rarely lags for me at the moment anyway... Meh...     Garner    Posted 6th Jul 2005 1:58pm Post 1054 / 4125 Ping will probably not improve. The amount of you can pull down the line doesn't affect how fast it goes... 1Mbit ADSL ping wise will be almost identical to 2Mbit ADSL over the same physical line. 55K/s? That sounds like 56K speed to me 1Mbit is 125k/sec, 2Mbit is 250k/sec. 24Mbit is 3Mb/sec. Upload speed will probably remain the same, most likely 256Kbit... or 32k/sec.

That means that my ISP now own all the wires until the local phone central (and those wires are much more suitable for high quality adsl than the previous ones). Unfortunately, i'm still 4.5 KM away from it so i'll have to content with 2.6 Mb. According to its advertisement, my ISP can provide you with a 20 Mb connection if you're just next to the central. From 4 Mb up, you get ADSL TV. Quoting Garner Ping will probably not improve. The amount of you can pull down the line doesn't affect how fast it goes... My ISP offers a service named "fast ping". It decreases the ping but can entails packet losses and desynchronisations of the modem, if your speed (rate) isn't sufficient. spoilsport    Modified Jul 6th, 03:50pm by Molodiets Lace    Posted 6th Jul 2005 3:31pm Post 392 / 1216 My ISP guarantee me a ping of max 50 for a distance of 1200 km A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.     Molodiets   Posted 6th Jul 2005 3:42pm L4Y Member Post 431 / 2687 MY ISP washes the car and makes the coffe. spoilsport     ExoStatic   Posted 6th Jul 2005 3:46pm L4Y Member Post 213 / 875 My ISP is CENSORED Back in RF... getting back into the swing of things!     The_Doc   Posted 6th Jul 2005 4:02pm Stargate Worlds L4Y Member Post 189 / 962 My ISP is Tesco STARGATE WORLDS: EXPLORE AN ENTIRE NEW GALAXY     SkipRat    Posted 6th Jul 2005 5:31pm Post 431 / 3024 Nooo my net went down and had a page from BT everytime i tried to view anything.
