:evil: It's not quite 2:45 PM and my download speed is less than 100kbps. Anyone else having problems? I'd like to know if this is a genral fault or just me before I call the great do-nothings to let them know .
My download speed is between 872 kbps and 834 kbps right now. I used DSLReports.com in Ft Worth and Speedtest.net in DF. Uploads are are 83 and 106 kbps. Sounds like it might be just you.
Well, I can just about match your speeds RG, but there nowhere near the 2K I'm paying for. Tests seem to show a bog down at Prodigy's US based router, for a change. Does anyone know of an alternative to TelMex that routes to a different backbone?
So, some things never change Having endured the last 3 weeks on pay per minute, 56K dial up back in the UK I think a return to Prodigy will be a refreshing change for me. Then again, I look at the deals I could get here if I subscribed for 12 months: 8Mb Internet, Sky TV, and free local calls all for $30 a month. In Mexico I currently pay $60 for Sky plus $60 for Internet plus phone which normally runs another $40 - $60 and we hardly use it. Makes you (well, me) wonder if living in the UK is really that bad after all.
At 5:30 AM you can see how once you cross the border, speed takes a nosedive, and even when you are routing internally in Mexico, the assymetric part of ADSL is way out of whack.
