Netsource Question pls help..

-ADREN-

Just wondering 3 little things..

Now that netsource has its slef fixed all dloads and pings are good?

Also has netsource stoped routing through the UK yet? or does it still have to go across to come back to an irish server?

And also if i was getting a modem what would be the cheapest most compatible modem around to buy? Even internal.. doesnt bother me.

Thanks loads.

I can answer 1 of them for you but thats it I'm afraid.

Now that netsource has its slef fixed all dloads and pings are good?

I'm getting downloads at 49.5k/sec and pings vary from 44ms to about 66ms (to jolt.co.uk)

Have netsource said anything about trying not to get it routed to the Uk then back.. or is this the way all the connections are done?

-ADREN-

soory bout this again.. but if i bought that adsl modem is that compatible with the radsl product netsource are offering.. and what other bits and pieces will i need to buy myself.. like phone cable or something.. does it use the same standard phone wire? Anything else i will need.. as u can guess im going for the self install option..

Thanks again.

Its NOT a standard phone wire. It has 2 pins instead of 4. Most modems/routers come with them.

They have fixed their INEX peering meaning that irish traffic stays within ireland.

The pings hover around 40-60.

Cheapest modem.... search yerself

Spot on, unfortunately McAffee bought out NeoWorx and have rebranded NeoTrace "McAffee VisualTrace". Now, I only downloaded the thing last week, but I can't seem to navigate the website to find a link at the moment, maybe it's just too early

Here's a link to NeoTrace Express (freeware) from a mirror though.

MAJOR problem with the NetSourse service with Solwise modems/routers have been reported. Stay clear as it has not been solved and Solwise aren't responding to emails on the subject.

Sorry to but into the thread, but does anyone know the number to ring Eircom so i can get them to test my line?

-ADREN-

Syk afaik esat have a site that check if ure lin passes for there exchanges if you want to try theres.. not sure about Eircoms though.. just go to www.iol.ie and look for the link to IOLS broadband there and from there go to the availablity page.. or test page which ever one it is..

Eircom is 1800-512-128.

Those pages only check to see if your exchange has been upgraded, not if your line has a sufficient SNR.


Thx bkehoe
