ISDN at work

voted 1 meg DSL - although its really cable modem access via NTL.

NTL - where is your 2 meg service?

Blueyonder offer it - my old fella has been on it for months (as has Colin I suspect )

Isn't that still a DSL variant though Matt??

all I can get out here in the boonies is fliipin ADSL

[Fidgits]

Tricky one for me...

Although i have a 512kb DSL connection, I connect through a VPN to my companies server in the US, and out through a LAN Proxy...

To hazzard a guess, i'd say I get about 100kb/s on a good day..

how fast is the connection from your house to the proxy?

I'm stuck with a 512k ADSL connection. Don't live in a Blueyonder area

Still at work I have a 100Mb/s Internet feed.

ah - assumed you would be on the two meg trial too - have a brother works for telewest in Liverpoool on blueyonder support, and he made the test - assumed you would be at least trying to get in on the action mate!

Don't live in a Blueyonder area 

ok then - that would explain it!

[Monster-Mat]

Thats the tricky bit Matt.

because Im using a VPN for ALL traffic, it slows the connection rate quite a bit.. but as i said, i'd guess i get about 100kb/s, perhaps double that on a good day.

[Matthew_McNally]

Thats the tricky bit Matt.

this is men competing on who has the biggest pipe.

post verifiable figures - or leave the thread now.

Select ISDN - it's the nearest to speed to what you have.

512K DSL, and I'm still with BT OpenWoe.... apathy roolz!

[phunt]

ISDN at the moment but 1 Meg Pipex is ordered and should be up and running in about 2 weeks when my exchange gets enabled :)

[ifraz]

512 with BT. I can't wait for my 12 months contract to expire so I can move away from them...

Blueyonder sounds interesting

[Brettster]

1 meg NTL for me too, where o where be the 2 meg lines NTHELL???

[yemgi]

1M cable at home, 28M at work :)

[Lexus Jim]

btbroadband 576 up 288 down or so it tells me

didn't realise isdn was still going, its well expensive.

going to shop around for different provider and hopefully get 1 meg at least. can't get cable tho.

what do you guys pay for 1 meg, i'm paying £27 month for 512

[ricky_is200]

NTL 1M for me! Quick enough for LOC surfing, don't need 2M!

Chris, you don't have to leave your computer on for broadband when your not using it.
