8Mb £17.99 Tiscali Unlimited (which is a requirement for me, especially when on Sat and Sun I downloaded over 20GBs worth of crap). Having problems atm with them though. Click here for details.
You're downloading parts from other people's machines. It depends on what speeds they're uploading at, how many people you're downloading from and how many other people are downloading from them.
I wonder if they format the hard drives properly lol. Bet they bloody don't!
Can't believe they're selling them so cheap, there's my poor tax money going down the drain :(. Incidentally, where does the money go? Does it go back into police coffers or into the doughnut kitty?
And yes, you...
Well from reading the Tiscali forums it seems that they employ 'Throttling' between 6pm and 11pm and 'Traffic Shaping' between 8am and 1am on P2P. This doesn't explain why it gets shaped on Newsgroups though as it's not P2P!
So basically, I have an 'upto 8mb unlimited' service, but only...
They're getting better!
I have a problem now... I need to upgrade from Beta 2 to RC1/2. But I need to do the online activation. Problem is, the internet connection on that machine is screwed, but because I can't get into vista to fix it I can't sort the internet connection out!
I'm going to...

Well if he gets the same kind of "punishment" as the lad then it won't be much trouble! lol.
The criminal justice system in this country is a joke. I feel sorry for the police. They try as hard as they can to stop this s**t, but the courts don't do them any...
Never install more than one program of any kind. They will interfere with each other and cause security holes. Only install one anti-virus, one firewall, one spyware remover etc.

Easynews was always fine for me on Bulldog, 500-600 avg was the most my line could sustain anyway, so I was maxing out my line. I did try changing the route twice the other day but didn't see much change. I'll try them all see if I can get a better one.
I'm not expecting 8Mb, but I my...
I'm on an ADSL2 Wireless router. Can't see that limiting my speed. And plus it's not a speed issue as such it's a newsgroup issue. Maybe it's nothing to do with Tiscali and I keep getting on shitty Easynews servers. I'll have to have a play.
I'm currently d/ling at 250KB/s so not too bad...
Don't know about classics, but I find Easynews great (Don't take my word as gospel though, as I've only ever used Easynews). Works out about £5.50 a month for 20Gb.
Even if you live opposite the exhange you won't get over 6.5-7Mb
The point is though my line is capable of downloading at 300-400Kb/s as I can acheive those speeds from MS etc. It's just absolutely crap on Easynews, even though I'm using a download manager. My setup hasn't changed since I was...
So Tiscali have a policy of throttling high users between 18:00 and 23:00, but as I'm new I won't be seen as a high user. Yet I still can't get decent speeds when downloading from Easynews. Highest I had was 110KB/s avg is around 40KB/s. I'm getting roughly the same connection speed as I was...
Nice vid, can't believe how fast you were going - my eyes could hardly keep up!
My Clio would have had all your cars in the twisties, however.... oh wait.
