Tell me about it, they don't even supply you with a DVD for your copy of Windows... Just a Dell OS recovery programme on your HD. Lucky I have my own copies  :-|

Decent prices and delivery though if you can't be arsed building your own etc...

Hey tommie  :D

I have tried most things and I've done cablenut and sat on the adjustments for a few days but with very little effect.

Having used dial up for years, I was amazed by ADSL connections, now I want faster, some people are never happy  :evil6:

I dream of a 20/10 connection, I think I'll move to Amsterdam  :cool:

If it's ADSL it depends on how far you are from the exchange you're connected to and the quality of your line.

Your ISP should be advertising it as "UP TO 24 Mbps", did you have a closer look?


I got caught out with this, I live in rural France and was promised ADSL 8Mbps and a relevant upload when I signed with Cegetel, and being only 450 meters from my exchange I foolishly believed them.

To my surprise 2432 / 320 Kbps is all they could offer...

Since I have changed to Wanadoo.fr I don't appear to have gained any speed, but the connection seems to be more stable.

Needing a better upload than the 210Kbps I average, I asked / begged my ISP if there was any way I could have a lower download, and increase the up "impossible" I was told. Can any of you knowledgeable types confirm this???
