CuLT wrote: Don't much care for pings myself, don't play computer games, but I went with IBB for the 1MB asynchornous package. Speeds are mostly dandy, connection almost never drops... Can't really complain tbh. I'd like it to be a bit faster though; NTL 6MB is starting to look very tempting.

Dont play games a huge amount but if i did i wouldnt have wireless of any form, mainly torrents just checked 850Gb down in the last year to be exact :D.

kippy wrote: Also, I think perhaps you can attribute the slow speeds in some areas with the CONSTANT download habits of a majority of users in the same subnet as you-which in my opinion would mean that it is these users who are causing the problem, in turn however IBB should ensure fair bandwitch for all-if this mean strictly enforcing download caps or packet shaping then it should be implemented more strictly. Anyway-there's my two cents on the whole affair...... Kippy
Of course not
But do they actually give a cr@p about quality of service?

subway wrote: ffs, i posted up so that people could see my mistake, not so someone could come across all high and mighty. another pc on my network happenened to be steaming away onnthe downloads while i did some ping tests. as you can see above that gave the slightly shocking 1000ms+ results i posted this up as soon as i saw them, a bout a second later i relasied that nother pc may be using b/w so i checked each machine and found one, stopped it and pinged again. the results were not "normal" but still around 150ms. i could easily have edited my post so this never happened but thought i would'nt bother. now i have to type a full explanation to stop someone i dont even know accusing me of not having a clue.

When they didn't I phoned twice and they promised they'd take it away. I've been using it for March now and haven't been charged. Speeds have pretty good for the last two weeks(as in it actually works). Maybe they've forgotten about me and I get free broadband for the future.
