Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -
It was good when they went through BT. Now, not the best, you do get some periods of unavailability. Not the worst though. -

Cheers folks - Just checked my line speed and BT thinks that the best speed I can get is only half as fast as the 1mbps link I already have.
So I might stay put as I'm only shelling out £10 per month at the moment.
Is there a way of estimating the max speed based on the noise levels on the line? I can get this info off my router.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Should be around 3 Mbits, I will probably increase that - my ADSL 2 provider allows for doubling of upstream from 1.3 Mbit with some loss of downstream.Originally posted by Ardesco View PostWhat is your upstream though?
