Question

Hi folks, I have been so engrossed at work and out off the office that I only stumbled across this today! Didn't notice anything on here, but again, had tunnel vision of late

Have you guys seen all of the packages now available to normal ADSL home users?

LMAO, I am ordering a 20:1 2 meg link tommorow!

/Me a happy bunny

Example:

The strangest thing is nick since changing from f2s to another provider but only on 512k certain things are quicker than my old f2s 2 meg (how??!!!!) and only my game ping is slightly higher, and by slightly i mean slightly!

I can do you 2MB for £60.

a couple of guys who use our adsl get <10ms ping to our servers. 15ms ping in ut2003. can't be bad.

Question

Nick,

When I spoke to f2s they would not allow an upgrade. I would of had to drop the current contact and swap over to a new contract and prob be without service for 7-10days. Let me know if you get a different response.

Ta.

You can only migrate from one ISP to another if you go for the same package.

You *cannot* upgrade from a home500 to any other package as its a different port on the exchange, you have to cancel and re-order.

if you are on an office500 you can upgrade to any other office package.

my advice - take out your new adsl on a different tel line if you have one.
