moon Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Congrats ! :) If you ring your phone company and ask them to clean your line, because it crackles or something, you might get even better than that. They've got 4 booster options to use when they get complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Ever since I installed XP I generally log on at 115.2 Kbps :blink: Shirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 ShirlI hate to dissapoint you but the 115.2kbps is the speed that the modem is talking to your Com port/Computer not the outside word.Sorry Mate :( Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moon Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Wherever they are, they're connected . B) I've registered too, but it could be a long wait. Plenty of time for the phone giants to nip them in the bud too. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyhanger Posted October 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 I was speaking to an electrician friend of mine who knew of the possibilities, the other week. He seemed genned up on it. Will they stick a 200 mile lecky cable from scotland to yorkshire, just for me? pleaseIf it takes off big time and ultimatley it must be cheaper. What is going to happen to the likes of nthell, aohell and the others. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
