Im supposed to have up to 8 meg broadband from talktalk but its never connected at more than two. Its rock solid at that though and still cheaper than pipex.


Thats why I like cable, you dont get this "up to" nonsense. You get the connection speed you pay for. Or you do in my experience at least so all the cable haters out there can STFU :P


heh, Telewests Customer service is bloody awful.   Their product however isnt too shabby.

Dap can download from multiple sources, get 4 decent sources for the file and itll definitely max out your connection.

Normal dl:




same file but with Dap:

speedtest.net doesnt work properly with high speed connections. it does 8mbit then panics.

like yours is showing 1mbit connection there, but its going at 10mbit according to the download and upload.

To put it into perspective... Ive had 5.6megabytes per second download in the mac lab in cardiff uni :D lol... downloading fedora core :D

Not too bad for a 2mbit line. If you dont put your supposed actual line speed up then the result is pretty much useless for comparative purposes ;)
