pjhaahl Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Hi everyone. Was just after a few opinions on ISP's as I am thinking about making a change. At the moment I have a work supplied deal which is 1M down 256K up, via a BT Line. Have a problem in that I am so far from an exchange apparently, that my line is only just stable at 1M and I cannot expect any better. Ive been told if I subscribe to any of the up to services i could end up with only 512K so I opted for a fixed 1M rather than one which dynamically adjusts. Ive been looking at telewest, as I know that cable is available in my area and I saw this as an alternative to being stuck with the BT Line. The only downside I could see to this is though they have a 10M service, the upload is only 384k Could anyone offer their opinions on Telewest, or recommend any alternative options to look at Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UnUsual Suspect Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Most ISPs here in the usa give much more download, compared to upload. I would love to have less download, more upload, but most do not offer it. I guess I should be greatful that they don't throttle bit torrent.

Dark_Shroud Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 but thanks 2 zone alaram my problem ended... There are better firewalls than Zonealarm that are also free. Try Kerio and you should notice some line improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawin45 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 you don't wanna know what poor quality antihakers I had really...and by the way I took this zone alram from the torrents, so it's free basically... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
