Its not really down to Tiscali as the line can only handle 256kb. It BT that needs to pull their finger out and upgrade the connection. So much for Blair etc wanting us to be one of the forerunners for high speed connections.  ::) If I lived in a cable enabled area it would be better as we could get Virgin BB but for some reaon we can't get cable, even though we live in a new build.

The cd's (or DVDs) are a good idea. I'll message Circo to see if he could sort me out. Maybe if I messaged someone over at Hyperspin they may be willing to burn me some DVDs too

Hi Franco, I used to have the full sets but lost the lot in a HD crash a while back. However, I have a nice 30mb connection at my house and if you can supply me with approprite links, passwords etc. (if needed) I can obtain the collection relatively quickly for you and get them put on a drive for you. If anyone knows if they are on a Megaupload, Rapidshare or Megashares account anywhere I can get them even faster as I have all these accounts and can download from these sources at my full bandwidth as opposed to torrent which can be up or down.

Craig, thats very kind of you. Thank you very much  :)

That sucks about your innertube connection...  Have you looked into cable if they have it in your area?  I used to benchmark about 200-300 kbps tops on DSL (downloads were usually about 36-52k) with 2 different providers because I am far from the central station.  Got cable and now I max out at 10+Mbps, and I regularly see download speeds near 700k~1Mbps.  Apparently cable uses repeaters to boost the signal along the way, so they don't have the same problems with signal strength on long cable runs.  Worth a shot.  :)

I wish we could get cable.  :'(

It really is a crap connection. I can't even watch youtube videos, I have to pause them and let them buffer for a while before playing them. Reading a picture heavy thread is a nightmare too.

Turnarcades has kindly offered to DL the files for me (after asking Circo for permission first) which is great for a quick fix but it's no solution in the long run. I hope they upgrade the exchanges etc soon but I can't see it happening for a while.

Whoops, missed that!  Not much you can do then, eh? :(
