This should probably be in a different forum (Hardware) but I thought that I'd chuck it in here.

Since moving to Kent I've had a BT Yahoo Broadband connection.  The connection has been lousy and my download/file transfer speed terrible.  I have been lucky to acheive 10 KB/Sec and the norm was between 4 and 6.

Two days ago my telephone died, it was a little portable jobby that you could wander around the house with.  I binned it and plugged in my old phone and suddenly my connection is fantastic.  It turns out that the type of phone you have affects your connection.

I never knew that.  I just downloaded a few aircraft and for both files I got 30KB/sec.

I am a very happy chappy once more

Cheers Will... don't over-download!  ;)

Is it possible to "Over Down Load"?????

yep, take here in Belgium, download limit 10gb, if you cross it you're internet goes really slowly
cheers

Will,

I know that for my TDStelecom DSL connection here in the states.... that typically runs about 170-190K/sec download (sorry  ;) )....... I have to have special filters located on EVERY phone that is on the same line as the DSL modem.

is this ok?

your all hate me right now, because of my good internet connecting right?

Cheers Theis

That's one of the reasons......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Thanks John.

I ran the test and I get 728 Down and 240 Up.

Is there any way of tweaking this my end?

Errrrrr Theis.....




Is this fast?

Not to bad I guess!


Souichiro! Isn't there a speedlimit on the net? Jeez!  ;D

I used: http://chi.speakeasy.net/

Download Speed: 4811 kbps (601.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 358 kbps (44.8 KB/sec transfer rate)

good, bad???

Ramos

Even better:D For real, I hit 6mb one night. must be slowing down::)
 

i got 5645kbps download, 913kbps upload on that speakeasy test

So having firmly established that my connection is Pants, what can I do to improve it?

Any ideas?

Will
