cause then we can have a game of unreal tornement against each other or quake. im well chuffed

What conneciton have you got.. with who?

BT 500 HOME ADSL.

And i have to say im well impressed.

 

they told me they would arrive between 8 -10 this morning, guy rocks up at the usual 1.pm, so nothing new there

but other than that it is awsome, now im well up to reclaim my quake tital, Andy ingram im a comming my friend, you have run out of advanatges

How about any of the Halflife based games (Team Fortress / Counterstrike, etc). I still play UT though!

 

Even though I live .5 mile from the BT labs in Martlesham Heath we won't be getting our local exchange upgraded to ADSL for another YEAR. BUT...NTL have just yesterday announced that we can now have their broadband services.

 

So (in a few weeks), game on buddy....

(I'd play you now but you'd kick my arse with a crappy 56K modem!)

Simon

yeah lol lets keep this one going,

i havent played halflife yet to be honest but ill get practising.

I have Blueyonder and when it works properly it is fantastic.

 

However

The last time it work properly was 5 months ago. It is forever not working. Audiogalaxy is blocked out, you have to click on a link about 5 time before it starts to think about opening the page.

The downloads are nice, 70k a sec, UT is too get a ping of between 15-30 (if Blueyonder is at full speed)

 

Stuart

Had NTL Cablemodem 512 for 2 years and it rocked - hence me tens of thousands of mp3's.

Now on the steam-powered local loops on the isle of wight

56k. Kay.

Yack!

:)

Back from holiday now.

 

OK, Q3, UT, HL, whatever...

 

The can of whoopass is always available to you Warren.

 

ok im am well chuffed with this connection, im the new porn king all you guys beware

##bring it on andy boy and all those who dare take on the sheehan miester at quake 111

Warren, this is £40 pcm isn't it? and then a phone line on top = £50 pcm before voice calls, expensive.

 

Would like it just not happy to pay that!

Would have had ADSL fitted last Monday, but because ADSL is sold by Backwards Technology and I have a fibre f-ing line going to my house I can't have it.

 

Can't get cable either.

 

Stuck with a f-ing 56k modem.

 

Still could be up for a bit of UT or Quake III probably could still kick yer but even with my crappy modem

i pay 30 squid a month got it on special

Eddie,

You should be up for VDSL when it arrives though, and that is bigtime bandwidth - up to 20Mbit !

Yeah Andy but I bet you are restricted to a set amount you can transfer in a month. I had a questionare to fill in from BT about VDSL asking me which package sounded the most attractive. All of them were resticted in the amount of data that can be transfered a month. 3Gb I think it was. Which sounds a lot but over a month it aint that much, considering when I download MP3s, movies and demos I can download 1Gb in a day. With an even fast connection it will be very easy download more than that.

 

Stuart

i'm on comcast @ home cable modem, I average 1.5meg transfers on a good time, 500k on busy times. cable can suck like that

Hehe, you get good stuff in the US. This is all new to us here in the UK and costs a bleedin' fortune.

 

BTW, just wanted everyone to know that I took Warren up on his challenge of Quake 3 now that we have similar net connections and .... he got his arsed kicked again. a bit better this time for him, only 20 - 7.

 

Andy

The bastard was cheating lol.....

 

im blaming flabby finger..

 

but the time will come my friend when i rain down upon you
