hi
my main pc is connected to a belkin router by cable..whenever i open u torrent it stops the ps3 connecting to router and the internet on my lap top runs like a 3 legged dog...is this something to do with ports and port fowarding????
-
Shite router.
Reduce the number of connections within the p2p app, and also tame down the max bandwidth it can use.
-
old router as well.....recomend another one?
-
You could always buy a NetGear or Linksys wireless N router :y

PS3 Wifi is only G i think, so N speed might be a bit wasted?
Netgear routes are pritty soild :y
-
As TB says, put the brakes on the upload speed in your Torrent client.
As far as routers go, wireless N will give you noticable improvements, even when used with the old 54G stuff.

PS3 shouldnt really be on WIFI i dunno why sony equipped it with it but its soooo slow! Ping on my'n hardwired is 80 odd ms on the wifi its 200+
-
Not a fan of anything Netgear, mainly due to previous incompitence of their firmware writers. N wireless worthwhile
-
A Ping request will always be slower on Wi-Fi, although 80ms ain't that quick where gaming is concerned.
-
80ms is quick where 3 Mobile broadband is concerened!!

Thats awful, even hardwired :o. Wifi will have a hit, but compared to the broandband, should be negligible
Sony equipped it with Wifi, as the market they are aiming at is people too stupid/lazy to do it properly. Much like Nintendo.

That's not quick, it's amazing......amazing you can hold the connection for long enough to get the reply from the Ping request that is ;D

yeah i live nr Llandrindod Wells and i think im one of only a few with a 3G Dongle its a very backwards town you see! i get a 70-80ms ping with about a 5mbps Speedtest consistent
ive tried my dongle in a big city and its unusable
I have to have one of these Dongles as BT use a system here thats the predecessor to DACS its based on a Crossbar exchange they call it the Gefeller its a 16 pair cable to 30+ lines
I refuse to pay full rate line rental for a shared service

IIRC, Gfella is a 95 line system - sure yours isn't one of the smaller concentrators.
BTW, as I'm sure you know, BT's only legal requirement is to provide a system capable of usable voice into the PSTN
-
its a Smaller Gefeller it used to have alot more lines on it before they put a big cable in to the primary school sadly they wont bring the cable up to us as it would cost too much >:( >:(
when i worked on Exchange maintenace it was a rite PITA and well known to most Midwales & The marches engineers we had a few spares not many though theyre used alot in Scotland
FAO The Boy the exchange is a UXD 5 Aswell so sometimes no service is provided lol

Only recall 2 gfellas in my old area, when I used to do a real job. Bloody loads of smaller concentrators, inc the 16 line ones. One of them (remote unit) was unreliable, but I couldn't get authority to replace it. Until it annoyed be one day, so I gave it a good kicking, which finally killed it ::)
WB900 was also the order of the day. 1 poor barsteward farm had 3 lines in his property, all 3 carriers, so all 3 used to die during extended power cuts (common)
-
WB900 yeah i remeber them we had a case of fraud in our patch someone had the 1+1 unit in there house and used to hook onto next doors line with it so a job was raised to move it!
i remeber going on a tour round the technology centre (adastral) where i was told theyd managed to get ADSL to work on DACS at 512k a sec per customer this was quite sometime ago and so i assume the project didnt work as well as expected
there are a few exchanges round here that are so isolated theyre fed via 18G radio one exchange even has its DSLAM fed via 18G

Properly fitted with the later filters, the audio was not available to the carrier's premises.
A lot of stuff at BTL/Adastral never make it out beyond trial for various reasons - usually financial or political.
No real reason why DACS was so shite apart from politcal (it ran at same 144k that ISDN2 used ::))
