Do you really get 8128Kb download speeds? Is you DSL modem syncing at 8Mb or is the software/stack just reporting 8Mb? Just curious as in my experience you have to literaly be next door to your local exchange to get rates above 6Mb. John |

Thank goodness for Cable. Watching a 5Gb ISO of 'clipart' download at a steady 10Mb is quite satisfying, and addictive. 1160GB downloaded in the past 3 months.

It was their fault. they were the ones that put me on a restricted service during the testing phase, (a bit like your colleague turning his router off) and it was me that asked for the line to be reset, not them. that's not the only problem I had with them however, over the past few months I have had no problems at all with my speeds or service

Don't start me on this one!
I live 8 miles from the centre of Birmingham in a dense populas area. Have been with BT for years but as i am "at the end of the exchange" got 512KB max. Upgraded to home hub with a promise of 1.5MB Max, still geting 430K actual - pathetic!!! I live on a new estate (with no cable). My Brother in law lives 200m away and enjoys 8MB on cable.........

Approx 250 ft line of site using 802 11G 54Mb per sec. This is very variable depending on situation. can be as little as 30 feet inside a building or less if there is a lot of steel in the construction causing reflections of the signal. So booster aerials preferably directional will be required to get you the full distance. These are the sort of antenna that you would require.
http://www.wirelesspro.co.uk/default.php?cPath=1_2 I would advise speaking to them and preferably someone that has installed this type of equipment before any kind of purchase, please remember that this type of equipment needs line of site to work efficiently. |

Ah, no direct line of site and it may be 300m so I guess it's not an option.
But thanks anyway!
