ADSL Max

[Julia]

My ISP are awful. They won't let me migrate out to another company.

Any ISP recommendations? No limits or stupid prices. I'm with Supanet.

I migrated quickly and easily to Madasafish, for £11.99 a month (for first six months) you get up to 8mb, free connnection and modem, 5GB download limit. After 6 months it's then £17.99 a month

Oh and I forgot to mention I got a free domain name for joining too!

Tried madasafish and the line test came back at 6.5mb

I'm on 1.1mb. Its the only service Supanet offers that isn't a rip off

Thought they did 2mb 25gb download for 14.99?

Try http://www.bulldogbroadband.com/index3.asp they even do a pay as you go broadband.

PlusNet are updating all users' accounts in the order that they registered. Roll on anything approaching 8mb

Not sure about new users but I would imaging they would go straight to the max.

Is plusnet anything to do with bt ?
There site layout is very close to bt's.

I have months where I download between 40 and 60gb. 25gb ain't really enough.

[Dali]

I download about 60gb a month with bt.

[Dali]

Has anyone else upgraded there broadband yet ?
Did you get the full 8m ?

[Tugmistress]

well i just saw the other thread and have registered my interest in the free upgrade to 8mb if i can get it, so waiting on them to let me know now
at the moment this is what the router is saying
Statistics Downstream Upstream Line Rate 1152 288

[Dali]

Well mine says ADSL Speed (DS/US) 8128/448 Kbps

So just hope you are close enough to the exchange

At the moment I am on 2Mbit - was 600 metres short of the 8Mbit... shucks! There is a community in London somewhere where the Govt has set up an experimental system - those lucky sods get 2Gbit - both ways!! I sometimes notice that my speed varies and was about to phone my ISP when I remembered the contention ratio bit... must have been a lot of people on. I can recommend Pipex - they are good, long established and very helpful.

Yoip, i have been upgraded to 8mb. Router says speeds are 8128down, 448 up. Had to order it from BT, and sign a new 12 month contract, but hey, im happy.

That system in london is extended ethernet. Its the way forward. Only problem is that they would need to rip up 30 million miles of phone cables and lay down ethernet. Would cost like hundreds of billions of pounds to do that, so its out of the question on a national scale.

The latest seems to be this. Im 22, will proabably be 122 by the time we see it
