TalkTalk broadband

[BlueDan]

So I've moved in elsewhere, they said they had broadband but it turns out they actually have TalkTalk

How much will I be able to use the iPlayer, etc before they start to moan about usage limits? Not something useless like Sky, hopefully? (2GB)

virgin media look very good, i am sorting out works broadband and so far bt business is cheapest.

don't forget to look at line rental.

but a full vm package does look good.
you can just pay extra with sky

No idea, best to check their website but packages may have changed. I've just changed from Sky to BE, getting activated on the 3rd/4th - happy days

It's not my service to change over. Though I may sneakily change their AP to WPA2 and update their laptop and printer... it's set to WEP at the moment, and with the default admin user/pass too *facepalm*

If your in a BE LLU exchange I can give you some handy hints on the Netgear DG834 v3,4,5 to tweak the hell out of your connection :devil: :slayer:.

I had 4.5mb when I joined I'm now touching 7mb

As for talk talk you don't know until you know what package. They do a 2gb upto unlimited IIRC.

I got 6.5mb on the regular ADSL line back home, are you 300 miles from the exchange?

 

[ChrisUK]

Yep not far off 54-57db's attenuation . Price I pay for living far away from the pissheads and druggies I guess Getting my 40mb activated next month :slayer: .

 

[BlueDan]

No pissheads or druggies where I was (or here, so far), but also only .2 of a mile from the exchange

Shame it only supports up to 6.5mb.

Had a bit of a dig, it seems TT are either 40GB or "unlimited" depending on which package. Doubt I'll hit that, seen as the speed is up and down all the time I can't stream BBC HD

 

[ChrisUK]

I had a friend on the 40gb package and he torrented all day and night and didn't even get warning emails lol. Almost like they didn't care.

 

[BlueDan]

Heh, noted, though I've never touched torrents.

Time to install the iPlayer desktop/cacher then, seen as get_iPlayer doesn't work anymore.

 

[BlueDan]

I was getting nine times that the other day :bang:

They sent me their own 'BE Box' which looks like some generic Thompson POS, I'm fancying the Netgear DGN2200 as a replacement though ... next year, when I have spare pennies
