Hmm. I wonder what you actually get for the extra 150 or so yoyo a year.
I'm on 1Mb/s, and rarely find more than about 100kb/s available.

Are you on Tree Rock on Breeze ? Now I'm worried again.

The 2mb line has lower contention 24:1 and no cap.

The 1mb line has a contention of 48:1 and a 30gb cap.

Dont be im on 3rock and currently as i type dl @ wow i just checked it there now AFAIK my line is still 1MB and its DL @ 120-150K poor if its a 2Mb connection now with out being told but tbo 120-150 is more than enough for me. More and id just be greedy i use 40Gb @ home + 90Gb (in work - for personal downloads)

Hi Joe,

I live only up the road from yourself and am going to order too....(but I think my LOS is blocked by trees! I hope not...)
The 2MB connection sounds good - fast and no cap.
Any tips apart from asking for the 5.8ghz equipment?
Whats the best way to order from them? Phone / fax / email?
Are they still doing free installation?
I think I heard it on the radio that the offer closes May 15th.
Does it still apply if I order now, but am connected after the date?

Cheers.

Thanks for that Opti - perhaps IMB is enough for the moment.
Would you mind if you PM'd that email address to me if you get the chance tomorrow? I'd really appreciate that.

When I came home from college last night I noticed the connection had disconnected and reconnected. Paid no heed though.
Downloading a torrent it reached 180KBs, but seems to level out around 130KBs which is not much better than what I was getting on 1Mb.

edit - It's actually just hit 222KBs and is steady at 215KBs.
Nice.

Hi All,
Ripwave is not too bad tongiht:

Downstream 73 Kbps (9.1 KB/sec) 78 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 16 Kbps (2.0 KB/sec) 17 Kbps (inc. overheads)


Quite stable also.
