	you are all lucky as far as internet speed goe's here in the uk we have the British telecom it siad i get upto 10 mb but it best is 1.8 m.b and its drops down to 500 bytes sometimes If you can, and I know their cable doesn't reach all parts of the UK, go to Virgin. I'm on 20Mb and that's what I get, testing to UK servers. Last time I tested to SF got >18Mb. Agreed. I pay for a 10Mb service from Virgin and I get 9.5Mb on average. While not the cheapest out there, I like the reliability of the service. The only problem with it having all coming down the same cable, if it does go down I lose broadband, TV and phone. Some places now offer a 50Mb service and I also know in Bournemouth a company has installed a fibre network in the existing sewers, and offer a 100Mb service (Think it's called Cable City, but don't quote me on that).

	If there needs to be a limit, then the only thing that seems fair to me is to do it per host, not per user. David (a low-end-of-the-range hobbyist) ____________ David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri.

	DSL speed? I have DSL light, 384/64 kbit/s or 48/8 KB/s, you could imagine what this is for a 'problem' to feed my ~ 70,000 and ~ 20,000 S@h-RAC machines with enough WUs? I can't get more here in my village.. :-( ____________ >Das Deutsche Cafe. The German Cafe.<

The same kinds of ratios apply, the top 20% of hosts do about half the work, the top 4% of hosts do about a quarter of the work. Joe

Also an ADSL 2+ signal, for Digital TV, 16Mbit/sec. Four companies do give a nice competition. The 3 QUAD's have an Ethernet cable, TV also, only my LT goes WireLess, WLAN.
