Cheap but fairly decent pc needed.

Currently on a 10Mb Line, a friend of mine has 22MB with one company.. little bit pointless as i very much doubt that anywhere will be able to ditriblte stuff @ that kind of speed... Bring on "the internet 2".. 3 dvd's a second... mmmmm

Software not much of a prob

Pete not sure on the Mac whats the spec? drope her or me a PM

Cheers people will let her use the internet and order one

With eduacational discount, the Mac Mini is £375. No monitor, keyboard or mouse though, but you could pick them up for nothing if you don't mind second hand.
Alternatively Dell's PCs start at only £299

Your right there's probably not a single source that could distribute to you at the full speed, but what you'd gain is able to leech from serveral differant sources at once

I used to work for an ISP and man did I love night shifts, would have three or four PC's all leeching, could max out each PC's 100mbit LAN connection was oh so very fast. :slayer: :slayer:

I do miss those days - but I don't miss the poo from the users!

oh what i would give....


i think i'd host download fest's charge people like £5 an hour to use that connection!

People @ uni's are the best, they get stupid download speeds i seem to remember 1gb lines all wired up with firber optics.

Two reasons for going to uni:

1.) Girls

2.) Internet Connection

[Stu DemonD]

Well this all sounds very promising but I haven't got a fu<king clue about computers so may just delegate this task to someone who knows even just a little bit... Jamie?

Thanks everyone...

Tranny- Thanks but I wouldn't even know where to begin with building my own computer hehe

 

[Stu DemonD]

Jamie?

Good luck

 

[KirstyTL]

Jamie?

Good luck

On second thoughts i wouldn't even trust him with a toaster! lol

But I'll probably just end up with a ****ty dell because it's the easiest option.

 

[Chas Uno]

I am with plus.net, and that offers 1 monthly contracts

I'm going away for 3.5 months three weeks tomorrow, so I'll stick with dial up for three more weeks

Mid October, broadband here I come! :slayer:

 

[KirstyTL]

Did the obvious thing and ordered a dell... only I always have issues with my addresses so I'm not going to get it for aaaages.

 

[jenks69]

Why do you have issues with addresses?
