New ISP? - Page 8

Well that was painless

Swap over happened yesterday. Went to work a plus net user, came home a UKFSN user. Popped the new login details into the router and away we go.

Getting a very nice and steady 750-800KB/s from Easynews right now

Niice. Let us know how it goes. If it carries on like that, I might just jump ship.

Don't like the sound of that, although if it means that it resets everyday it could be worse I probably DL about 40-60Gb a month but it tends to be 4-12Gb at a time.

Started to acquire a film last night, peak time at 450-500KB/s

I'm happy with that.

I've booked up for adsl with ukfsn now

Doesn't come online until 26th tho

Shame cos it's a pain having to come back to the olds' for internet cos they keep making me take more stuff away

Nutcase · 27-02-2007, 18:13

Yay, I'm all UKFSN'd up

Best speed I've had is about 6.2mb so not too bad I guess - BT estimated 5.5mb.

Now how to abuse the bandwith?

Mark · 27-02-2007, 18:42

Well, PN just brought 311Mbit of extra bandwidth online, which has helped a bit with peak speeds. I guess I can stick it out a bit longer.

Mark · 11-03-2007, 19:10

Bloody hell. Another 155Mbit came online last week. PN (aka BT) seem to have malfunctioned.

Had to reboot my router to take advantage, but I'm now getting 300Kbyte/sec over P2P (BitTorrent). At 6PM, that's unheard of. Bets on how long it'll last.

Anyone else on ukfsn find their email server crap? Sometimes takes ages to respond

I'm almost ready to ask for them to change to no NAT and get 8 IP's - got a firewall today, and hacked in and reset it suprisingly quickly considering I have absolutely NO idea what I'm doing

Methinks "overkill" comes to mind:

but for £30 who cares?

Some ISPs can get a bit anal about people requesting a /29 (tech name for 8 IPs), so good luck. I've never had need myself as I can do some pretty advanced routing inside my network.

As for ISP email servers. Common problem that. Simple solution (especially if you have 8 IPs) - roll your own. Just make damn sure it's secure and that UKFSN don't block the standard ports.
