I find the broadband latency is worse than it was with ISDN

Generally not much in it, but ISDN is point to point straight to ISP, DSL can go round the houses to get to ISP, so you can be unlucky depending on the combination of where you live and what ISP you pick.

You will only notice latency on interactive comms like VoIP (which is shite anyway as its a low priority service).

No real affect on downloads etc.

I use VoIP a fair bit at home, giving it a fairly high QoS priority. My ISP does not traffic shape.  Works well for me :y

Quick enough for me. :y
Blimey, whats that...   ...up looks like dial up, down looks like a poorly 256k line

Edit, just seen, 3G.  Still too slow, guessing its actually GPRS  :-/

HSDPA what ever that means.... ;D

Its quite misleading actually...apart from a couple of sites Betfair and Ebay it loads the content plenty quick enough,no lag or delay.

My home broadband is ofcourse quicker but not THAT much more noticable. :-?

High Speed Downlink Packet Access.

Its a method for packet distribution over 3G networks using HARQ and can support upto 42M using the newer plus version.

It can also be rolled out onto most existing 3G base staions without hardware upgrades and will be what finally does for the ill conceived wimax!

I understood very little of that.... :-[

All i know is im told it should be faster come end of the year... :y

Then, to be really clever, I though about doing it from one of the News servers - 1Gb of unfettled connection, straight on the Colossus backbone, but probably a bit naughty ::)

You HAVE to test it out  ;D

I need to find a way of making my server ALWAYS connected to the internet. If anyone knows how, let me know! (windows 2003 server btw, with a usb ADSL modem). Any ideas??

The plan was to disconect the LAN as my sister will prob be using her pc on the internet! (or at least she was!  ;D)  

God knows why, but its disconnected from the web too?

Just notice my avatar has now gone too! DUHH! :'(
RRAS on Windows Server will do the always connect to internet, though to be perfectly honest, get a router.

Yes, thats what I need to sort, however every time ive tried its all gone tits up!
RRAS is fairly easy to set up, you'll have to set up as NAT though, as it can't deal with addressless routed IP, as is used if you have a block of RIPE IPs

I do remember zen giving me the option of 1 static IP, or 8 IP's for NAT maybe???

Heres my results (prob the slowest on here for home broadband!)
that is number of RIPEs they offer you.

You speed is rubbish, or are you on a 256k line?

Yes, Im on 256k  :'(

Within two minutes of one another using my o2 wireless "dongle" (I love that word :))

I suppose I should be happy seeing as I'm in the middle of nowhere in the west of Ireland  ;D

Still not brave enough to run one from one of our unfettled internet feeds  :-/
