Can you recommend an ISP

I've just noticed that my pc had the tcpip.sys restored again, which MS seem to do with updates from time to time. Had the 10 open connections limitation holding me back.

Router had also lost its mind with regard to my download machine and open ports. I'm not sure how that happened, so do check the open ports thing from time to time.

If you can get it, Be. www.bethere.co.uk

Yep looks alike a v.good'un but you need to get a BT landline installed.

Maybe I should mention that I don't want or need a phone as having a mob. ans Skype suits me fine

Be are being really shit at the moment. I'm getting 1Mb on what is supposed to be an 8Mb connection.

I think 3 offer a fast but low transfer limit broadband adaptor for about 10 quid a month. Uses the 3G network.

I was curious myself, getting shite throughput on BT last night. However I've just logged onto ukc, grabbed an iso and was getting within 50Kb of my theoretical max. Slurping at 11.5 on a 12 Meg sync rate.

So, sorry Blags, your line might be on the way out or perhaps your own exchange may be having problems, but it doesn't seem to be network wide.

It's not my line. Be are having congestion problems at certain exchanges. It's affecting (and pissing off!) a lot of their customers. They're promising to upgrade "in the next two weeks". That was over a week ago and no sign of improvement yet.

Could be a stuck IP profile, what are you synching at?

What's a "stuck IP profile"?

Whatever it is, it isn't that anyway. My speeds were great until 3 weeks ago. Lots of people on their forums are complaining of the same thing from around the same time period.
