HI all.

Just a quick revisit to this thread for me. I left the Vodafone 3G service a month ago and switched over to 02.

The difference is pretty wild.

Vodafone's 3.8Mbps service

02 3.8Mbps service.

Regards
Sharp.

No idea why it shows Tiscali, as I'm with Pipex.

This is for a 512/256 subscription.

I'm going to switch soon from Pipex to Be, though. www.BeThere.co.uk. "Up to" 24mbps! (Of course it wont be anything like that figure, though

, but should at least be an improvement over my current 0.5mbps )

Hey Timo,

I also thinking of switching from pipex (it's now owned by Tiscali)

Mine's a 2 meg service, but is showing as 6.7 on properties....

Darn, that really sucks!

Nice ping, too. No doubt excellent for fragging.

Hey Chord, the only thing that's putting me off is that I have my own bit of free webspace with Pipex, which is always handy for uploading random stuff rather than using third party sites. However, I guess I could always rent my own webspace/domain. "Be" initially seems like it would be a nice choice, though (albeit without webspace), as the terms/conditions and prices look very reasonable. I was going to lay down some wonga with Sky, but I really don't need the TV stuff so'd rather not pay the surplus for that. Zen looks ok too (2GB free webspace), but expensive.

I never knew Tiscali had taken over Pipex! When did that happen? Another reason to move pronto, methinks. (Actually I do remember my IP extension changing about a month or so ago from *.dsl.pipex.com to *.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com so it was likely then)

PS: Sharp - whats price is O2?

Post by **Sharp** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 10:27 pm

Hi Ausser.

It's 30 Euro a month. Actually, only 15 for the first 3 months, then it goes up to the 30 Euro.

They offer a full 30 day money back guarantee too if your not satisfied. No questions asked.

Nice speeds you got there yourself.

Regards.
Sharp,

Thats a very good deal by the sounds of it.
Is that mobile based or wireless like the Eircom box thing?

My BB is landline based.
Mobile is vodaphone - get fleeced every time I cross the border or get near it. How I wish they'd - y'know - get a move on.

Peace
Ausser.

I've got 10 Mbit/s up and down. That's what we're paying for. Now, I run through a D-link WLAN router, with which you can also connect with cable. Comparing to the wireless with the cable connection...

Wireless:

Cable:

With the cable I'm pretty satisfied with the speed. And the Wireless ain't that bad either.

EDIT: Hm... I chose the server in Oslo this time, and look at my results:

Interesting. The Download rate is a bit slower, but it's a lot faster uploading, AND the ping's better! But how come the download rate's slower when everything else is faster?
