pipex traffic shape very aggressively. i work for a pipex owned company and we have just started using the same tactics.

hmv are doing a 360 premium with an extra official wireless controller, pgr3, just cause, ninety nine nights, and table tennis, all for £350. Was going to add saints row on top of this to bring it to almost £400. anyone know of any better deals around?

if you don't wanna buy new memory then buy a whole new computer. 256mb ram and a laptop with a poor graphics card isn't gonna do u any favours.

hard decision..... take your 360 apart and void the warranty and wave a hairdryer at it, or phone microsoft and get them to swop it out.

i just told you what's going on. pipex traffic shape. if you had of read some reviews before going with them then u would have known :)

tbh, an actual cancellation would be more trouble than it's worth cos they would cease the line, then bt would need to reprovide, so you are looking at around 10 days downtime with no broadband, possibly more.

errrr, are you on crack? newsgroups are consistently faster than torrents unless you can max out your connection every single time with torrents. and yes pipex manage torrents too, but you can encrypt torrents.

nope, not unless it's within the first 7 days.

nope, they use deep packet inspection, so unless you run through a vpn or ssh tunnel you are pretty fcuked. they shape on the erx's (they use juniper's if they use the same as we have where i work, and they have got some really advanced shaping/management software). they can also throttle on...

i work for a pipex owned company, and yes pipex throttle nntp connections. try switching to port 80 if you are currently using port 119.

i get it on the odd occasion where it asks me if i want to download the php file.

Re: your missions should you choose to accept it is to recommend me..... and my mission is to read my thread titles before posting.

a decent set of pc speakers. not too worried about if they are surround sound or just 2 speakers and a sub. budget is around £50. they must have a sub.

i bet it would really piss him off if i posted some huuuuuuuuuuge images in this thread :D

i edited my post cos i pressed the reply button, started writing a reply, then the phone rang and by the time i got back and finished my reply 4 other people had already replied and my original comment was pointless.

no, sadly it's not quite that simple. was there a fault that caused them to cease the line in the first place?

bt can do a cease a reprovide in 5 days if you push them for it.

54 ain't really that hot, it won't start thermal throttling till around 80 degrees. i run ddr2 533mhz memory at the moment, and a new psu, although it's a cheap one so that could be causing my computer to turn off when things get too much. at 3.8ghz it's stable all day long, doesn't even crash...

arse, 3.9ghz is a no go. 3.8ghz is nice and stable though. will keep it like this till i can get some new memory and a decent psu. i think my psu is the limiting factor at the moment, along with my 533mhz memory.

right, i just went and bought some thermal paste cos i was running mine on the standard crap. with my 805d and zalman 9500 cooler i am running 3.8ghz at 54 degrees @ idle with the side of my case off, just about to try and go up to 3.9ghz.

errrr, how do u work that one out? :rolleyes:

i think mine is 1080p. dell 2407wfp. anyone know?

i run my 805d on a zalman cnp9500 at 3.8ghz if i don't mind it being noisy, or 3.4ghz with a bit less fan noise.

pwnd, l0lz.

tbh i wouldn't touch external usb drives anymore, too slow. external sata is more like it.

when xbox360 came out i just queued up all night outside toysRus, got hold of a 360, went home, put it on ebay, and made a cool easy £250.

yes. i download around 200gb of stuff per month. that is only 2 months worth of storage, if that.

so far this month i have used 175gb not including my uploads. lucky i work for my isp :D

do you really think that the whole internet is gonna slow down for everyone in the country? :rolleyes:

lol, i love threads like these. this is like asking somebody in america if their kettle stopped working because yours did in england. fair enough if your local exchange has an issue, or your isp has an issue, and somebody else is on the same isp or same exchange, but just asking somebody if...
