ADSL Question

[Churchill]

Dun Codin' = Fairline ?

How often do you use it ?

Milan.

Yes she's the Fairline.

I'll give you a clue, she's in Scotland and I'm in Cambridge...

[milanbenes]

are the berthing fees cheaper up there ?

is it dried out ?

Milan.

4096 each way over a telephone is technically easy for the pipe owners.
but the upspeed they give is always 256.
anybody who needs lots more than 256 upspeed has to put in a fixed line costing thousands.

Milan.

She's on a dry stand at the moment.

The "Clyde estuary" is a fantastic place for boating.

LilElvis,

this house is in the sticks in CZ !

Anyway folks, using a vpn client does the membership think 256kb/s UP will be good enough for ssh to remote Unix servers to perform sys admin work ?

Milan.

Yes it will.

The only data you will be transmitting upstream will be the text of the Unix commands, along with a little bit of overhead.

As someone already said, a 300baud modem woould probably do the job.

Hi,

many thanks for the feedback.

ADSL will be installed within the next four weeks.

Also like I said there is the option to upgrade to 8mbit down and 512 up for an extra 15 euros a month

Milan.

LilElvis,

for another 15 euros a month I can get it up to 8mbit DOWN and 512kbs UP

Milan.

It doesn't surprise me. Yet another think the UK is behind on.

[OwlHoot]

I have 3 connections with total capacity of 25 Mbits down and over 2 Mbits up...

As I recall, you probably need all that and more with your terabyte+ and ever growing collection of porn.
Or was it music and ebooks?

[milanbenes]

up here in the nordics....

my colleague just told me he's got 100mbit down and up !!!

atw, maybe you should move operations up to scandinavia !

Milan.

As I recall, you probably need all that and more with your terabyte+ and ever growing collection of porn.

Current approximate count shows that I've got 870 TB+ of data (in uncompressed form).

Those connections in scandinavia have that speed internally.
