Wire connection, but there's a wireless laptop streaming a movie downstairs so not too bad.

We will see what happens with the new router from talk talk, maybe a small increase as the connection is rather up to 24mb and I'm only about half a mile from the exchange.

This is just now





Gotta say internet gaming is great with talktalk. I've heard so many bad things about them but I can't really complain over the last 3 years we've been with them. Connection is always great, not much difference in internet speed between peak and off peak hours and my ping online gaming is always among the lowest on the servers.

Actually I do have 1 complaint. Customer service is horrid. All foreign (mostly indian), and hard to understand. I rather speak to an indian person called Amir, Chand, Khan or Kumar than an indian person called "Nathan" or "John" or "Hugh".

Never had to call PlusNet CS :tongue:  :smug:
I say never but 1st was a problem with the initial set up of my line on their side, 2nd I thought I had a problem with the line, turned out to be dodgy network cabling. Not bad for being with them since 2003ish

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I'll be leaving o2 as soon as my broadband contract is up.  They were great in the first year, but when I renewed they throttled my connection making it practically useless for streaming.  Then to top it all off they finally realised I've not been an o2 mobile customer for a very long time, so are putting my monthly bill up  :sad:
