I think it is always better to get some packages that are beneficial in terms of services and everything. There are many broadband service providers and all have different way of providing services in packages, we have to look what we can better get.

I must say that you are actually getting good speed. I am currently on adsl and finding no problem with speeds.

Good to find a person which is happy with Dsl, one of my friend was not at all happy with dsl. Right now I am stick to Adsl connection and it is a good provider and not getting trouble with the speed. Let see for how long it will provide me good speed coz there are many people in my circle not getting appropriate speed through adsl and switching to some other broadband.

Well, I have seen many providers that are providing a good speed in the beginning and later speed goes down. I am facing this problem with adsl and I dont know how to get rid of this. For me it is a clear mess.

SmartBro is good in providing good broadband connection and for all the smartbro users, if they want to increase their internet speed then, they can easily do like, there is a proxy for smartbro and you will find it according to the browsers you are using like, if you are using internet explorer or Mozilla.

I have heard about Sun broadband connection and it is very good in providing better connection. You just have to find this out, I mean I will try to find out the details and let you know apart from this, Globe broadband is also very good.

I will definitely ask my friend about this as he lives in Philippines and having an ISP which he wants to change due to the services that not seems to be good. I have no idea about pldt connection but, it is good in terms of good broadband speed. I will get some more details about this and let this know to my friend who is there.

Thanks

THOSE ARE THE PROXY I USED. JUST CHOOSE ONE SUITABLE FOR YOUR CONNECTION 

FOR MOZILLA

TOOLS>OPTION>ADVANCE>CONNECTION

(NOTE: BE SURE TO CHECK USE ALL PROXIES TO ALL PROTOCOL

proxy.smartwifi.com.ph

proxy.smartbro.net

proxy.meridian.ph

121.1.47.46

121.1.3.194

121.1.3.200

use port 8080 on all proxies..proxy:proxy.smartwifi.com.ph

port: 8080

try using openDNS 208.67.222.222 alternate is 208.67.220.220

Thanks for the details of proxy server, I will use this as I was not working on mozilla, But I will get this done.

Many thanks for such a thorough answer. The main problem is that transcription companies have transitioned to such huge software platforms it can even bog down an internet speed of 4 Mbps. Satellite and wireless usually cannot handle these big programs and the software will bog down and will not run. That's why I always try to hire on with a smaller company whose software is more compatible with slower internet speeds. My wireless cannot handle VPN either. I was on EZnet wireless owned by a local guy who really didnt have the means to keep the latest and best equipment. He just recently sold out to Bluebird. However, Bluebird gives us only 1 plan and that is their slowest one and they only guarantee 512 kbps download, 256 kbps upload, and 768 surf speed. I have been running tests and it runs anywhere from 2685 kbps but over the weekend it has been as slow as 443, 350, 174.

I think if one has telephone service they should be provided with DSL. BellSouth says because we are rural it is not profitable for them and they arent going to provide it. Cable will not provide service for the same reason.

I really appreciate your answer.

This is something which is really worth and this will be really helpful in getting more approach. But, you have really posted an information which is really helpful to understand.

it is really good in providing better services and you will not find many issues with that, I have not came across with cox but, I have heard that it is a high speed cable internet service provider in America and most of the people are using this due to fast accessing.

Well, for me XP is always good and more preferred. I have installed Windows 7 but, there are some issues with that too. When it comes to network settings then yes, I always find problem mainly in the case of Windows 7. I have not installed Vista, but I do have its transformation pack and it slows down the speed.

For me, XP is much better and there is no problem in network settings.

I dont really think that it is worth using free dial ups, please no offense but, it is just a thought and it is due to the reason that I have found one friend of mine using a free dial up service and got high speed internet access with hosting services but soon after that he found a problem in connectivity and speed and when he called up, he got charged. I dont mind in having free dial up service, but it should be proper and the ISP who is providing this to you should be efficient.

Hi Coknuck,

You served really well here and you really solved the problem. Sometime, I got the problem with the speed of internet and then I have to repair it again, but it is still not worth. But, I will work on your suggestion and get facilitated. I mean, in future, whenever I will face any problem with the internet connection, I will approach you.

Thanks

I use netzero as my ISP and would like to check my speeds from my ISP and I don't know how. I did a speed test and its in the  database.                           

Well, it is very simple you just need to open a website like, speedtest.net, from where you can get everything that is loading time, speed, bandwidth etc and it is very simple. Just open this site in your browser and get facilitated.

Anything FREE like this usually has unpleasent surprises im afraid....

Spammers see the word "FREE" and they think they can spam you even more!! (uugghh)

You are right no doubt, I am a newbie here and visited many forums and most of the time I have seen spam, which is a bit annoying. But, if the ISPs are free then, it should be facilitated.

Thanks
