What problems have I been having? What problems have I been having!!!!!!!!!

It took me 30 minutes just to get on MB tonight.
So far I can only access this and the BBC!!!
And that's probably only because of cookies.
I know for a fact that so called unlimited downloads means fuck all because everyone is forced to use shared bandwidth, which means if things get busy....everything gets clogged up.
Orange are notorious for it...shower of twats!

I got it wrong saying 4 hours surfing per day = 1GB

Here's a more accurate breakdown;
Surfing... 4 hours a day
Email with Attachments...15 a week
Email... 100 a week
Downloading songs and short video... 10 a week
Listen to Online Radio... 2 hours a week

= 1GB PER MONTH

Wow...so much for the developed west. I have a flat rate account at 2mbs (20kb upload) for around 15 pounds a month. Smooth sailin' too...:|

Edit: So you were way way off? Take the fucking 30gigs then...:\

RT, the average film, dvd quality is around 700-900 mb's. So unless your downloading over 30 films per month, or 1 film a day. Or 60 porno's a month. You really should be fine.

Assuming you download a 100 mb cd. You need 10 of those for 1 gigabyte. So you would have to download up to the hundreds of music per month...

As for the bandwith, you might wanna fiddle with the settings on the router.

But yeah, it shouldn't take 30 minutes to go on mb with dial-up, so i really don't know your problem, unless you share internet with everyone in your entire apartment?

Looking good. :)

You have no idea. Read this...Orange Problems - Index - Orange Broadband, Orange Email, Orange Mobile Phones - OrangeProblems.co.uk (formerly WanadooProblems.co.uk)

I had this problem a while back and they seemed to sort stuff out, but all this week has been a gargantuan ballache.
:(

Thanks for the advice matious...much appreciated.

Double post again and I'll have to ban you!

Incidentally, 100 emails a week? What on earth are you up to?

we have 6 computers at my house all running off one internet.

Thats not counting me and my nephew playing online :D

smooth as butter.
you could try this
YouTube - Internet Explorer and Firefox 10x faster!

Just takin' care of business man. ;)

How many GB's a month do you use matious...or are you unlimited?

I'll check that link out too. :thumb:

I've never heard of this limit to GB here in the states. As far as i know its unlimited.

Then again i have mommy and daddy who take care of it all :)

I use Virgin media which is unlimited unless you download over a certain amount then youre connection speed lowers but the download amount is 3gb.....a day! Needless to say I have never had my speed lessened. I am on a 4 meg connection at the moment and it NEVER drops. This is going up to 10 megs for free in the next month or so. Happy days.
