if you are, then do enjoy your 60k bandwidth when they are doing maintence ( which, according to a lot of my gaming buddies, is often....either that or pure coincidence someone always seems affected)


Oh.. and isn't  there someone on the forums has something to do with nthell?

"Is there an Internet connection?

Yes! We have a huge 100Mbps pipe available to us thanks to BT"

Yeap, we're with ntl, have been for at least 6 years (Or Virginmedia as they're now called)
As Allan said, gunna be upgraded to 20mb soon with an increased upload speed as well (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/up.gif) (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/up.gif)

Thankfully we've never noticed any decrease in the speed

Im with Telewest/Virgin. Its crap tbh but im getting 4MB most of the time where as everyone else is only offering 3mb max!!!!
My transfer rate has never gone above 400kbps, usually around the 200 mark.

Unfortunatly im really limited on speed round here(http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/sad.gif)

Bah!

ADSL2+ for teh win!!!

(http://homepage.mac.com/hardrockcamaro/.Pictures/mac/downloadspeed.jpg)

"BeThere" £20 a month for 24Mbps (1.3Mbps upload) with unlimited use.

I "only" get 16Mbps as I am too far from the exchange but even getting 16Mbps of actual download is difficult as the Internet itself can't keep up...

Yeah I know, I'm extremely fortunate really.
We can't even get it at work and we're pretty much right in the city, a couple of minutes walk from Tower Bridge...
