Guest Nikica Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Push your traffic through a VPN and all that your ISP will see is encrypted HTTPS traffic. Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I have looked into that in the past. I am considering it tbh, but I think I will simply tone down the downloading for now as there's no need for it all.

MikeO Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Changing provider and switch-over day tomorrow; hope it'll be glitch free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changed a couple of years ago because the previous provider was cheaper on paper, but charged line rental through a sister company. Was livid when I found that out, and their customer service was appalling. Average/consistant 50 up and 12-15 down here. I’d be lost without the internet!

I'm leaving TalkTalk so customer service couldn't possibly be any worse. Was kick started by our SkyHD box dying a couple of weeks back so I was sold on a complete 'net/phone/TV deal with them including upgrading to SkyQ. I resent giving more money to Murdoch but ultimately have to get what's best for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a guaranteed 35 down (which is about what we get already on a good day) and 10 up, though I never really upload anything so that doesn't matter to me at all.

johnh Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 35 and 10 what? Back in the 1970's when we installed our first on-line remote connections to the main-frame computer, we measured line speed in 'baud's'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This puts it better than I could Bill. Because I switched my internet/phone to them as well they added discounts so it's not actually costing me any more than my Sky HD/TalkTalk phone/net combination did before, they also only charged me £20 for the box instead of £99. It's being installed on Friday, I'll let you know what I think. Internet change went virtually instantly this morning and I even got a slight increase in download speed!

Increased memory will probably be useful for the wife even though she had initial Luddite meltdown at having to master a new remote. rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
