Farril said:60kbps isnt alot is it? i thought ADSL was alot faster? i get just over 600kbps n i think thats slow ><
Farril said:ah ok. im using a cable modem, but i always get slow downloads coz of all pcs using the net at th same time.
Demonic said:OK for Non-Uk peoeple - this is what we have a choice of in the UK:
NTL
600/128
1024/256
NTl are upping the prices on 1mbit and increasing the speeds 'late summer' to 750/128 - same price
1.5mbit/256 - 37.99 GBP
Telewest
Already have this magic Speed Increase:
so they offer:
256/128
750/128
1.5mbit/256
3mbit/256
ADSL
512/256
1024/256
2048/256
If you happen to live in London you can get bandwidth which is low during the day but after 6pm you can get upto 8mbit/400 for a real cheap price
There is a few restirctions on these that i know of:
NTL - they have a 1 gig day Cap - but all they do is monitor you over 3 days and if you go over it too many times then they send you a letter.
They are blocking certain ports such as:
Now it is blocking (inbound only): 137 (UDP), 138 (UDP), 139 (TCP), 445 (UDP & TCP), 593 (TCP), 1433 (TCP), 1434 (UDP) and 27374 (TCP).
ADSL - if you buy the cheaper pakacges they have a CAP imposed.
Now USA - correct me if im wrong - you might have faster speeds but dont you have a Cap on there as well so for exmaple you cannot leave your connection d/l or u/l 24/7?
