ez64 - Be broadband is ownage is it not .

says the guy that gets disconnected everytime someone puts the mphone down -.-

[ez64]

Lol thats just because he may have synced too high or have a faulty or non existant phone filter somewhere.

Otherwise being synced at 18/21mb down and 2.6mb up is awesome


Electricity bill?!?! I've never payed for one and thank god, now with my PC in this time of summer my A/C unit is on pretty much all day.

I used to work in a IT shop when I was younger that got me most of my cash since I had no out goings now its just odd jobs (IT related and my apprenticeship with a IT server install/architecture company), but uni suck's most of my funds these days.

lucky -.-

Yeah, I have several non-existent or very old and crappy Tiscali ADSL filters, so we have some more coming.

I only get 3Mbps down and 1Mbps up because were on the Value package and our line can only take a max of 4Mbps (We get 3 because were not in the primary phone socket.)

[ez64]

You get 3mbps down because your 1mb upload is using the same line, you can swap around download for upload and vice versa but a 2/2 connection is what I'd go for if you have many pc's on the same line.

If its only one stay at 3/1, sitcking the adsl router to the main box will help stability and might even get you a few more kbps.

Our main socket is upstairs and the comp is downstairs and it's impractical for us to run an Ethernet to it and my mum is sceptical about Power Line Networking.

[ez64]

Power line networking is fine for the internet but definatly not good for large file transfers.

[VoX]

But if a hair-dryer or something gets switched on, does that drop you?

[ez64]

On a 13mbps connector each end on really old crappy power line there has never once had a D/C for the people that ive installed them for.

All of my components arrived yesterday, big thanks to Chalex for helping choose them. Here they are, with an Antec Sonata case, way better than the boring Antec 900:



I'm going round to Chalex's now to get it built, I'll post more images later.

[ez64]

Slap him and ask why you didnt go for a q6600 , otherwise your definatly going to get your money's worth out of that system.
