Ian, thanks for the link.

I tested 5 times (this hour) and got speeds ranging from 265 Kbps to 360 Kbps.

Considering the route it has to take from my place, that's not too bad ?

Route is:

Someone else wants to give it a whirl ?

oh rite thats wot its stands for !

no wonder i did not know cos there aint none of those near me obviously or else i'd be able to get broadband :p

Hmmm, up to 375 Kbps now.

i've been averaging 260k in the 3 tests i have just done. not bad considering i am doing them from remote desktop too! :D

Matt name changed because i went to put this new email address in on my profile and put the wronge ending in, so did not get new password so had to rejoin.

Just tried the download site and I can't connect to it, sorry. Anyway to do a realistic download, you should really be using FTP, as you avoid caches!!

PeterUK300,

I'm not having a go here, but maybe you shouldn't have posted what you have in reflection to your biased links with BT. As you say your in a different division, but my view is BT is BT.

I always try and stay well away from recommending TW Broadband to everyone on here, as I feel that I shouldn't cause it's unfair. I'm bound to be biased!!!! I do however, try and support anyone that is either a TW Broadband, NTL HSi customer or even a BT ADSL user!!

Cheers Phill C

PS Honestly not having a go, but needs to be said ;)

Babber
I am not offended m8.
You done a good job on the "Broadband" thread ;)

All the best
Pete

Pete,

But there's nothing wrong with being chuffed about the service that your getting, 512 kb/sec downstream is unbelievable after using a 56k modem connection for so long ;) Welcome to the world of fast internet access. You'll find a whole new use for the internet from now on..... I remember when I got my CM 15 months ago :D:D:D:D

You have to pay for it [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] TW are just about to give the service to employees for free ;)

Thanks about the Broadband thread, just trying to help ;)

Cheers Phill C

PS and don't forget to download zonealarm at http://www.zonealarm.com I get my ports scanned regulary

babber,

The correct address is: http://www.2wire.com/services/bwm.html.

I've just tried it and got 284Kbps. I'm with NTL Broadband.

Daniel

ScoobyDan,

The correct address for what is at ????

I was talking about zonealarm!

Cheers Phill C

Hi All
Babber yes I do work for BT in Retail not Openworld, why it matters I do not know? From an ISDN to Broadband is wow speed wise.
I have yet to experience some of the criticisms made about the service and I hope I do not otherwise they will receive some nasty emails from within.....

Matt thanks m8. I wish I had done this sooner.However I did take advantage of the half price install. Although it is £40 a month! All indications are this will drop to £25 once the DIY option is available, hopefully sometime in Febuary. This is in trial now.
I tried to get on the trial but it is fully subscribed in London:(
and pretty much everywhere else.
All the best
Pete
