Title: Credit where credits due.
Post by: Ted on Feb 08, 2009, 22:02:01
As much as it pains me to admit it, BT appears to have done its job properly (at least for me) for once.

A couple of weeks ago i had interleaving turned off. For some strange reason i had to reboot my router a "few" times, can't think why :dunno:  ;D so was unable to hold a constant sync.

However, for the last five days the sync has remained stable and almost to the minute, my profile went from 6500 to 7150 with a rise of approx 600kbps in download speed.

So, thanks to the peeps at IDnet (and BT  :mad:) i suppose i'll have to hang around a bit longer then.  :whistle:

Oh! Latest ping times...

Ted, before you say you're up for being stuffed, you should at least check the materials we use...  :whistle:

Well, i was hoping to get stuffed with a good meal and a couple of beers.  ;D But it looks ever more likely that its the "Paxo option"  :bawl:

So i'll have to pass the honour over to a more deserving chap.  :out:
